My local wholesalers have only recently stocked fusebox, so not had a chance to try them out with lockdown and whatever.
I fitted a garage board not long ago to supply a hot tub, and used fusebox to match the main db, but today was my first swap out.
Conditions couldn’t have been better. Not too high that I needed steps, and not too low that I had to lie on the ground.. eye level.
Everything came in from behind, tails came from outside meter box with service isolator. Even better, no need to summon a seal fairy.

Old MEM with the push button circuit breakers. The old switch fuse above is for non existent storage heaters, but is staying as its tails are still connected to teleswitch. No fuses fitted.

New board up. All RCBO on 6 circuits. There is a new shower circuit going in soon, so I’ve left blanks between the breakers and mainswitch to slot another RCBO in.

Not my tidiest work… but I like that the board comes with ample space above RCBOs, and clamps for the tails.
Has a slight lean, but not as bad as some brands.
