One of my first jobs and I'm asking you guys, not a good start!!

My neighbour has asked me to install 2 new sockets spurred from a ring (from seperate sockets). CU is an old tenby board which has crabtree MCB's from the SB6000 range. I do not want to install RCD sockets at £30-£40 a go. So how do I get them RCD protected which they need to be as per regs?

1. Does anyone know where I can get an RCBO like this one (the 32A one). Does anyone have one floating around in there CU graveyard as I've heard it called?

or...

2. Anything else I can do apart from upgrading CU to 17th?

cheers.
 
fit a standalone rcd in enclosure alongside CU, fed from the existing MCB ( and the N , of course).
