If it`s too low, rather than file the front panel, mount it on short

[1] does that make sense?

Yes thank you Ron; that's very helpful. 2-pole it is then. How critical
is the gauge of the copper wire or flexible wire? I have a short length
of twin core and earth still attached to a discarded light switch - at
about 1mm is the bare earth thick enough? It seems sturdy enough.

Not critical at all, the copper cores out of twin and earth is probably
ideal.

I'll let you know how it works out in due course. I'm most grateful.
