That's it complete, all I have to do now is check the access hatch is working OK. You will see from the photos below I have created a brass pin that slides in and out of the base and into the access hatch, the idea of this is so that you just pull the pin out and the hatch drops down and you don't have to unscrew the box off the wall or the hatch itself making the cleaning of it in the late summer/autumn easier
