Cooker switch plates again

[Dave Appleby]

Just been asked to reinstate a cooker point.

Existing feed is checking out perfectly.

However, the existing back box has top and bottom lugs ~135mm apart.

I'm assuming that this is an old imperial box.

Can anyone suggest what faceplate is appropriate?


Yes, yes, next time I take a photo....
Stupid stupid me..

Regards
Dave

Sounds like an old mk box. Not sure what you would get to fit them. Any chance you can tap out the sides at the rear of the box for new screws?

Is it one of these doo-dahs?

Good spot but those mounting holes are 105mm apart
There is a MK cooker only switch (no socket etc) with holes 133mm apart K5012

I think the 105mm holes are just for the cover plate, the back box is standard for this type, and the holes are 133.

As far as the OP is concerned, they still make new faceplates for these older boxes.... just need to find a supplier.
I have a thought that the backbox is stamped with "MK" in inch high letters... or is my memory playing tricks on me??

just replace the box for a new-fangled metric rubbish.

Thanks everyone.

Love the help here!

It's the 5012 so shopping tomorrow.
