Discuss Problem with adding a spur to a socket in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

How close is the fused spur to the socket? What I would of done is put the fused spur into the ring. So put one leg of the ring into the fused spur then the other leg into the socket and then link from socket to fused spur that way only 2 cables in each lug of the socket and that way it's also done correctly
 
Thanks for all your help:). I ended up doubling over the spur conductors, and that did the trick.
