    Old Wylex CUs

    Anybody know the dimesions of the old Wylex boards? I'm doing a quote to replace an 8 way and a 6 way which are butted up to each other and no spare room around them, didn't take the measurements whilst I was there, looks like I may have to fill with RCBOs rather than split board(s).
