Crabtree Grid Switch new vs old

[conradj100]

Hi I have checked other threads cant seem to find the answer I'm looking for.

I need to change a 2way switch module on an old crabtree grid yoke. If I was to buy a new crabtree 2way switch would it fit the old yoke.

The customer doesn't want to change the whole thing as his whole house switches is crabtree grid system.

Thanks

How old is old, you can almost certainly pick one up there are various sites selling use electrical components.

New style don't have the little bolt to hold onto yoke - best to eBay as Westy said. Still available.

Looks like the locating bolt on the bottom - ? Usually at top so may be newer. Do a bit of online searching.

Think it is just "upside down", not fitted these for a while so they don't have the little fixing screws anymore?

They are still the same with the retaining screws and yes should be at the top, have fitted these yokes and switches recently for kitchen aps grids using 20a dp switches. If you get a replacement switch it should slot straight in as its 2way you should have to worry about it being upside down
