Changing single cooker connection unit to a double connection unit

[jordanlm5]

I want to change my gas oven and hob for an electric oven and hob.
I have a 32A MCB for the cooker circuit which goes to a 45A double pole cooker switch which then goes to a cooker connection unit as shown in the picture.

I am having the gas pipe capped off this weekend and will be hardwiring my new electric oven and hob to this connection unit. I have done the calculations and applied diversity to ensure no overload.

My question is, this is a single connection unit, how do I change this to a double/dual appliance connection unit?

I know you can buy a dual appliance outlet, however is it just a case of swapping the internals or will I have to swap the entire outlet?

Well, the internals are the entire outlet (apart from the cover).

The one you have might be a dual.

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear. I mean how will I swap the internal bit you have pictured on the right. Is it just screwed in or will I need to cut/dig into the wall

Only two screws. You will see when the cover is off.

Thanks for the help. I'm hoping mine looks like this as it is an old MK outlet from 1980's.

Nothing has changed since the dark ages of the 1980's. The screws are the same threads too.
