Trying to source an enclosure...

One like this:


UK or EU. Any ideas??

Try Musikding.  They usually have a good supply of larger enclosures.  Their shipping can be a bit slow, mind.

Aye that was where I got the picture, but had never really heard of the company before.

They are a good company and stock a lot of tricky to find things.  Delivery is about 10 days - which I think is quite long for a European based company. 

The only time I've ever had issue with them is I placed a large order and half of it arrived with no mention of the rest.  When I contacted them they said they were waiting on stock.  The two things the pissed me off was the items were 'in stock', plus the was no communication or note to say the rest to follow. 

Try Mammoth Electronics as well but I can't recall what their shipping rates are like.

I've done a few musikding orders, and they've always gone fine.

Bitsbox have a few: http://www.bitsbox.co.uk/boxes.php

Maplin too: http://www.maplin.co.uk/search?text=eddystone&x=0&y=0

Thanks guys, I'll grab something from musikding, just gotta get the most ideal dimensions together.

I've always used musikding for my pedal building. Banzai effects are another German company that have a larger selection of enclosures. Their shipping is a little more expensive but it arrived promptly.

Hmmm... not sure any of these are going to work actually. My ideal size is 210mm (L) x 90mm (W) x 35mm (H)

Is this for your amp footswitch?

This one looks the closest:

1550G

Natural

222

146

55

30-4371

Or this one: Hammond Diecast Enclosure 1590EE Natural (200 x 120 x 84mm) http://www.rapidonline.com/Mechanical-Fastenings-Fixings/1590-Series-Diecast-Aluminium-Enclosures-500370

I went for this one in the end:
http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=1426585

It is 220mm x 110mm x 40mm.

Just ordered it. Should be fine I think. I was trying to avoid having anything too tall. 40mm is the same height as my current one. I realise it is ABS, but I'm hoping it should be fine for some stompy action.

I only have length for you

I know the OP has sorted his issue, but if anyone needs it for future reference then Banzai are another option, although you will pay for shipping from the continent.

Last time I ordered from them they had some strings quite cheaply as well.

I've also used Musikding, they've been reliable but slow.  I f youa re ordering components they don't label the little plastic bags though.  I order a selection of diodes for experimenting with clipping in my latest pedal build, and I had to spend 10 mins last night measuring the forward voltages to figure out which were the silicon and which were germanium.
