Hi Ray,
We have had good results tying the OB's into a gutter box in places
where the PS won't fit by drilling holes exactly where they need to be
and then using a plastic bushing to tidy things up. I rummaged around to
find some photos for you, but I must have deleted them. Dang!
I have to admit that I like the OutBack boxes a lot, what with all the
busses and DIN rail-mounted breakers. (:>)
