hi. would appreciate advice from any electricians.
am trying to replace a 13amp [35 year old MK] wall socket but the terminal cage in all the new ones ive tried is too small for the 3 separate multi core wires. on the old one the 3 wires fitted into the rectangular terminal.
the hole takes [tightly] a 6mm drill bit. on all new sockets ive tried terminal holes only take a 4.5 drill bit
whats the solution if anyone knows thanks
