You can mount dis boards on end if necessary. That may help.

Some manufacturers (Eaton MEM does MB3P with pin connections or MB3F
with
forks) make insulated 3-phase busbar that just fixes into the mcb
terminals. It comes in 1m lengths though. There are suitable end
insulators available if you want to cut it down. It makes for a nice
compact board if you put the lot in a metal box. I doubt if you'll
find
it as a stock item anywhere.

I'd thought of mounting some din rail, but those 3 phase busbars would
make it much easier and neater - thanks
