Yes it is from Halfords the S/A version.
I believe Christopher did indeed tidy this but for the life of me can't find the thread,
or even the Thread I took his Picture from!
To many Mince Pies I think.

In my defense - that fit was just a trial fit, I am just as anal in the jointing The finished thing is much better and concealed (I did put the joint on the edge closest to the door card and it is also on a flat so easier to handle there too). Although one problem I have found is that with the variation in temperature from summer and winter the strip does change langth and so the gap does tend to come and go as it were!

I will try and dig out a picture of the finished thing if I have one

There you are - not got one of the switches fitted I'm afraid but I did have a few of the finished result on the workbench - find the joint in that if you can!
