Hi all,

Finally got the chassis out this afternoon to find the B7G sockets i had ordered from ebay to be totally the wrong size! The socket falls through the hole in the chassis and the metal mounting ring holes are too close together. The mounting holes for the socket should be 28mm ish apart, centre to centre. Would anyone know where i can purchase these that are the correct size? The original one was a brown flat layered socket with the name CINCH stamped on it. It is totally flat and does not "recess" into the chassis hole. There seems to be many B7G sockets available but only with 22 mm mounting holes.
Many thanks as always,
Dave.
