I just finished a rewire of a "rewire" (In other words, someone pulled a lot of wire, but had NO idea what they were doing after that) in a house that is being stripped of plaster and lathe and will then be drywalled. But, because they are living there, they are only doing a couple of rooms at a time. In a couple of rooms in the upper floors, the previous "electrician" used gangable old work boxes and madison bars for the receptacles. I changed all of the devices throughout the house and made sure everything was properly terminated and grounded. What I had intended to do as the customer got to the point of gutting those rooms was to use the bars that we used to use that slip over the box's mounting tabs - one above and one below - and attached to the studs. That way, the electrical work would not need to be disturbed when the rooms are gutted and the customer could actually remount the boxes himself.
The problem is that I can not remember what they are called and could not find anything like them from the predictable source (Raco, Steel City, Crouse-Hind, ...)
Are those type of mounting bars still available and what are they actually called?
