Please Help.
I'm currently rewiring some sockets ( converting a single to a double and adding a 3 Amp fused switched spur for a oven hood) and have noticed that the wiring instructions state to connect an earth cable to the metal mounting box. But having checked all the mounting boxes currently in place none have this connection. Is it necessary or can i get away without it?
Thanks
Steve
