MK Blanking Plate

[ALH]

I wonder if someone can tell me where I can buy a metal blanking plate for one of these. I've searched everywhere with no success.

Thanks,
Al

Neweys found them for me when we needed a few for a nursing home, There is one guy at my branch that has basically memorised the whole of the MK catalogue, I don't even bother quoting him model numbers now. Glad it solves the mystery no more metal fabbing

Unfortunately the screw holes are too far apart.

Could well have to do that.

The back box should have another set of 3.5 lugs that are slightly further apart. The ones in your picture are the centres of the grid that the 45amp switch sits in. should be anyway.

This should be the back box the cooker switch is mounted too as you can see there are lugs at the very edge of the back box.

no nails?

Pennywise: Apologies, you are absolutely right - thanks very much. Don't suppose you know the diameter of the fixing screws ;-)The screws at present holding the switch in place will obviously hold the plate on but they are flat headed brass (I think) and need some shiny dome heads.

Thanks again,
Al

OK chaps, panic over. Found that TLC stock it, complete with screws:

Standard 3.5mm screws they should come with the plate when you order it. You might need longer ones if the back box is set back a bit. No problems I've made the same mistake before
