The fuse and screw part of old MK spurs? Story so far. When men came to dismantle asbestos garage a couple of years ago, removed spur plug with fuse of course. Put it, they said in a certain place. I am now thinking of connecting it up to a shed, but can I find the bleedin fuse and plug bit of the fitting? No I bleedin well can't. If I have to fit a new spur. 1 a pro would stroke his chin and claim how its not a good thing to do, it would need rewiring to a new spec no doubt with lots of extra hardware and new cable. So its a single gang fitted spur by MK with the very rounded edges in a nice shade of cream. OK I know if I find one the other one will turn up, but you never know some junk box somewhere might have one... Brian
Can you get...

Was it the 'internal' type that fitted a sunken back box or surface mounted plastic box, or the one that fitted onto a surface mounted metal back box ?. Or does it even matter ?.
That would be an MK 6779 where the fuse carrier is raised above the front of the accessory.

I do have a more modern MK Logic (not Logic Plus) with the square corners and flush screw fit fuse carrier; from the pictures above I don't think the carrier will move from one to another.
The even older MK FCUs that differed between surface and flush types had a spring clip holding the fuse carrier in, not a screw.

A new SFCU doesn't even cost £1, you're not going to get a 70s style MK SFCU for that.

Well this has a back box of metal sunk into my wall, its the same size as a
13 amp socket. BrianNo this was definitely a screw, captive so you did not lose it. Shame it did not have a loose proof system, i.e. a human memory that worked correctly. grin. Yes it was a tiny bit poud of the surface, but obviously had a recess as I can still see that.
Brian Who should have sticky taped it to the bottom of the shelf nearby, with hindsight.
I know I may need to bribe a friend to come and change the spur but it will look daft next to the e old round edged socket next to it, and in any case that means s I can't really safely do it myself. Bah Humbug. Brian
You should have taken the fuse out and put the carrier back in, perhaps with a bit of tape over it.
Ebay it is then, for a whole SFCU.
