Default Bulgin Bucanner

Bought some Bulgin Buccaneer IP68 rated connectors. The chassis mount one
has a rubber gasket between it and the chassis and is secured by four
screws. There are four 'top hat' bushes supplied also with the same hole
size as both the fitting and gasket - but no information on how they're
used. Looked at the PDF on the Rapid site - no clue there. They're not
even shown. Any guesses?

Bulgins own PDF refers to them as Screw sealing grommets, guess to
seal under screwhead stop wicking through panel.

The locking rings dont survive being dropped very far...

Right. Didn't find that PDF on the Rapid site - they weren't mentioned in
the panel mount specific one. But they don't appear to fit in the flange
holes so I'm slightly confused about how to fit them?

Oh dear. Hopefully it will get light and careful use.
