This has been an ongoing project since early 2006 when I purchased a new cu to replace the old wylex 4 way rewirable cu.
Finally found enough time to tidy up the cables added over the years, fitted a main switch and got rid of a henley block that split the feed to the old wylex and to an MEM metalclad 60amp switchfuse which was being used to supply a sub cu for an electric shower.

Put in a 32amp socket for my plasma cutter while I was at it.
14 ways seemed a lot in 2006 but now its looking like I could do with a few more ways, pity the cu wasnt bigger overall too as things got a bit tight in there for my liking. I'm more used to big industrial boards with bags of room to play in.

The boards fuse is just 60amp and the main earth cable is annoying me, its around 6mm, mine are 10mm and it would be best I guess to try and get the board to swop theirs for a 16mm one.
E.on are who I pay the bill to, so are they who I should contact re the fuse upgrade and earth replacement?
Are they likely to charge me for this work do we know?

The chip backboard for the metering is pretty flacky now after being there 49yrs but getting that changed is probably pushing my luck isnt it.
