CU wiring too short for new board!

[FAA Greenie]

Hi Guy's, first post for me.

I have a client who has asked me to replace a rewireable fuse board for an 8 way split load board. No problem. Until I look into the existing board to find that the spark who fitted it took great pride in ensuring that the outgoing supplies were measured to the millimetre (Thou's of an inch to you oldies)!! to fit into the fuse terminals. Obviously this leaves me no spare wire whatsoever to get these wires into a modern 17th edn board. I have done prelim testing on the installation and all the circuits are fine so there is no reason to rewire any part of the installation. The existing fuseboard is in the garage and the client is unwilling for me to dig out and chase new cabling to the nearest sockets/lighting accessories inside the house to extend what i have to work with.

What is the easiest, safest, legal, easiest on the eye way to extend the little stumpy bits of cable i have available to give me something to work with?

I can, possibly move the board down a short distance, currently the circuits feed into the rear of the existing board.

Thanks in advance, if there is an obvious answer, i accept ribbing and critisism very well....

Adaptable box, din rail and klippons, just looks the part. I'm with Phil the old school way, Though it shouldn't be a problem I think there is morechance of having a bad crimp done when crimping 30 cables. there is always a chance that the crimp may not be done 100% tight, whereas the above method is IMO opinion less prone to mistakes.

i have used many methods, din rail wagos to din rail connections and wagos stuffed in a box to wagos in trunking...!! depends on quality of job! which in turn comes down to £££££
