Hi
I'm trying to wire a new 2 gang socket in to replace my old 1 gang socket. I have bought an external plastic pattress box to attach the new socket to. I will screw this pattress box to the wall, over the existing single socket metal back box that is embedded in the wall. The existing wiring is relatively old. It only has one earth cable. My new 2 gang socket has 2 earth ports. Also, my new external pattress box has a port for an earth cable. Where should I be attaching my earth cable to? Do I need to alter the wiring?
Thanks for any help you can give
