The LLB is a tiny bit smaller and shorter.

Thanks for that. Yes it is smaller but not by much, lol. I may just stick with the LB.

If it has to be metal, I don't think so.

You can get some really tiny plastic boxes.

I don't know, it's 1 whole millimeter per side smaller :D.

Actually, I don't think that Hammond boxes are even accurate to 1mm in dimension.

thanks, I should have clarified. No, it doesn't need to be metal, it would be for a Tap Tempo box so just needs to hold a momentary switch and jack.

Are you familiar with digikey.com?

Go there.

Search for "boxes"

then a big list of related things will come up.
click on "Boxes" out of the list; it should be fourth from the top of the links.

Once it brings you to the product list, you can select all sorts of size and requirement parameters.

Or you can click this link.
