Don't risk it, install modern wiring, regulation compliant.


It might not be compliant with current regulations but that doesn't make
it illegal.


I wonder what HIPS would make of it?

It can make what it likes of it. A test is done, the report written.
If it fails, it faisl, if it passes, it passes. HIPS makes no
difference to the state of the wiring, or the cost of the rewiring of
it, or the safety of it.
