I would suggest that you look around for a store which _specializes_ in supplying builders. They are usually primarily wholesale, but do retail as well. We have one up the road a few miles. They have a huge selection of similar boxes. Some are small enough to mount a relay in, and one is big enough to remotely mount a transverter. One of those places you seldom need, but they can solve a lot of odd problems.

Thanks Drew, I was going by there tomorrow to look around anyway and now I know better what I'm looking for. The online site says my local store has it so hopefully I'll be in business soon. 73, Michael Andrew Glasbrenner wrote:

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can use? The unit is about 3 inches tall including the N connectors and about 4 and 5/8 inches wide. I need something relatively cheap that will give reliable protection. Thanks, Michael, W4HIJ

I used one of these for years. A diplexer and the same preamp fit inside, and I used bulkhead female to female connectors to connect through the side of the box, and a brass bolt for DC.
