Fusebox upgrade

I've got an old style fuse box that uses wired fuses, I would like to upgrade it but not at the expense of replacing the whole board for a modern RCD consumer unit.
I vaguely recall a friend upgrading his wired fuses for a trip switch set up which slotted straight in to the old style board. Does anyone know of these or am I mistaken?

I did this a few years ago, you need an mcb to replace each fuse. Look at the amp rating of each fuse and simply plug in the appropiate mcb.

Your local DIY shed B&Q and the like also do these
so check them as well.0
