Old Fuseboard/New Shower

[Shaz1000]

I know they are supposed to be 'rarer than hens teeth' but does anyone have any idea where I might find an Mem 40 amp mcb. Had a shower fitted and thought I could probably take the immersion heater out of board and replace it with the shower but immersion only 16amp and electricial, although originally said 32 amp now says 40 amp.
Any other sensible but cheap solutions welcomed!

Who is doing this work?

 

[Shaz1000]

an electrician will be doing the work

I'm sure the electrician will source what he needs.
Is your cable large enough now it's changed from a 32A to 40A MCB?

 

[Shaz1000]

He will only source what is required if I have a new fuse board (it's my ex husband and I just know he won't be bothered to track one of these down). Shower has been fitted for months and all cabling completed. I've tried an electrical wholesaler who rang around for me. Another elctrician suggested I try and find mcb as I can't afford new board.

What other info is there on the MCBs?
