Old electricians .. check yer van please .. ;-)
Cos I'm looking for a LN5940 (40A Type 2 MCB) for my old MK 'Sentry'
CU and you might still have (a good) one sitting in the bottom of a box somewhere? I believe you can get an adaptor / conversion kit to allow you to mount a modern (flat front and ending with a 's' rather than the sorta 'sculpted' look I believe) ones but I'd rather use the one that would go straight in? All the best .. T i m p.s. I'd swap it for some drinking vouchers of course ;-) |

T i m I'm now 250 miles from the job, but I don't remember having any problem with the fit.
