Hi Kieth,I have a number of brass blade boxes, the closest to your requirement is :-

external measured 3.06mm x 15.23mm
internal measured 2mm x 14.06mm

Is this what you need? Regards Terry.

Guys

Do be careful as there is 2 x 14mm and 2 x 15mm flat steel joiners out there. It seems the older version was 2 x 14 but the more modern stuff is 2 x 15mm and of course will not fit in the old style brass outers.
Keith was asking for 2 x 15 and Terry has kindly offered 2 x 14mm

Keith, as John mentioned, the 14x2mm used to be the standard, but Gliders Distribution stopped supplying this a few years ago due to concerns regarding quality. They changed to 15x2mm (16x3mm tube external size).
Just be aware that if you do use 14x2mm then it will be very difficult to get any more.
Gliders normally keep the 15x2mm strip/16x3mm box in stock, but maybe stock has been exhausted due to the current building spree.

I’m sue that Gliders Distribution will have it back in stock soon. They are out of stock of each of the joiner strip/tube sizes.
What you need is theit stock No. GLB15 for 15x2mm strip & matching brass tube.
