My Father's asked me to replace his fusebox for a slit load CU, he
doesn't want to rewire the house which I have suggested as its rubber
cable. I havent looked at the job propery yet but my question is, what
to do if the cables are too short for the new places in the new CU?

If it really does have any rubber cable don't even touch it as it will
fall apart.

I would prefer to at least fit the CU as it will offer more protection
than they have now, which basically is nowt !!

I'd simply fit an RCD before the existing fusebox, etc.

If I can I'll pressure them into a rewire.

Almost certainly essential. It will be 50 years old at least.
