    Hi baldelectrician. yes I've realise that they are very hard(Impossible) to come by new and thet's why I've been asking if anyone had an old one. I've tried fleabay but they are either Type B or C neither of which will fit this box.There Must be some sparks out there who has replaced these CU's in the past and has a mcb out in his shed.Thanks for your replies.Please keep checking.

    Generally mcb’s are a standard shape and the difficulty in swapping comes from the connection point being in a slightly different plane so the copper link bars won’t fit.

    Look into the possibility of moving the shower breaker to the end of the row and then shortening the link bar by one way and using a wire link to connect a different make of mcb
