You'll probably get imperial or whitworth screws from RS Components.I have come across these a while back , they are imperial fittings and will take the slightly larger imperial screws , there should have been imperial screws already in use , if not get some , they are slightly larger diameter , not sure where you get them , I always save mine up when I remove old fittings,,
plastic lugs. used in the 60's when there was no cpc on lighting circuits. just cut the box out and fit new box.
Thanks for your prompt and helpful replies, this forum really is a friendly place!

I've found it to be so far, then again I'm not grumpy, old or bald. Even if all three are approaching me far faster than I would like.You think so?? :angry_smile::85:

Yeah, course it is!
Mind you, my glass is always half full!
Well me, ye and Trev are alright Archie. It's all the rest of these argumentative buggers that's the problem.
I had to take a switch off the wall and when I came to replace it the screw will no longer bite, it appears the thread in yellow bit shown in the picture has warn down. If anyone could let me know what they are called so I can replace it I will be very thankful.
Cheers

DOUGH!! Several days and an eager labourers broom passed before I needed to refix it.
Lesson learnt!
