Anyone got a lid for a 14 module Steeple board?

[DJAndy]

Before I tell a landlord that their CU needs replacing due to a snapped screw recess (that's how I found it but I know I'm going to be blamed for this), does anyone have a lid for a 14 module Steeple CU (rebranded GE E series)?

I thought about Araldite but I can't convince myself that is acceptable.

I thought I'd edited the post to link to the thread the image is a thumbnail on. Second attempt...

Does anyone know where to get RCBO's for this... Steeple?

I've found one 32A RCBO (double way), but I know you can get single way Steeple RCBO's as I've seen them, but I just cant see them anymore!! Does anyone know where to find RCBO's that will fit this Consumer Unit? I need x3 32A and x1 6A... I have spent quite a while looking! Ebay has the x1...

I can go down the washer & glue route, this was actually my first thought - I'd managed to convince myself that this wasn't acceptable.

find a reg that prohibits it then , as long as IP rating is compliant, the whole lid could be fixed on with tape,

 

[pc1966]

As long as IP maintained and it can be opened for maintenance then I don't see any problem with a glued-on washer being used.

Glue on washers both for both fixings if you want it to look more intentional!

Hi Andy,

Just checked the shed where I keep all my removed CU's. Is this the one you need? Just counted and it's a 14 module. Looks like it's not broken anywhere, bit dusty though, been there for years! No charge, let me know.

Certainly looks like the right unit. Presently waiting on some more pictures from the tenants as I may also need an MCB.

Quite happy to exchange some beer tokens for it and you'll get a bit of space back(!).

Pm me if you need it. No charge, but you could send a tenner to the WWF if you feel like it.
