[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 452882, member: 23472"] Following from what Andy said, (Sort of) its all very well "breaking down" anything to make it fit, but its not really a good idea, yes it shows the person doing it has an ability...............to "Get it wrong" May be wrong choice of words, but allow me to explain. Some grades of systems have a requirement that all contacts have a tamper switch, if its in silicone it has no tamper switch, also when it fails and the next person comes to replace it, they will probably not have a clue as to how it (said contact) was done. Yes, it looks good, but I have been known to say to people that do that, yes, very nice, now take it out / change it. Yes it has made me unpopular with the person who did it, BUT it takes more time to "faf about" doing said task, it also no longer complies, and when it fails, the next person will waste a lot of time trying to figure out how it was done, and in the end give up. If a normal contact was installed it is quicker, saves time, and the next person will not have a problem. [/QUOTE]
