This enclosure was designed to hold a toroidal balun or transformer for matching to a transmitting antenna.   It was designed around the 61mm cores.  There are two versions - one with SO-239 connectors on each end, and one with an SO-239 and terminal bolts at the other to attache to a dipole.  It also has a hanger, as I'm sure that the bolts won't take the stress of the dipole, so it should be mounted below the center insulator. 
The lid is attached with 1/2" #6 stainless flat head screws. 

The transformer shown is a 1:1 'Guanella' current balun described by VK6YSF.  I plan to use it in the transmission line to change from coax to ladder line.

Use PETG to hold up outside. No support needed.  Post  your make!

I don't charge for my designs, but if you find this useful, a cup of coffee would be appreciated. My Venmo ID is @Techineer.  Thanks!
