Friend sent me this from a boating forum

Looks good to me!
That’s a fire waiting to happen, those fuel cans are sh1te and leak out the vented caps when bouncing around. Whoever thought to store them alongside the batteries with that abomination of wiring is a total genius.

I’m going have to share this photo with a few of my marine engineering mates.

I’ll report back their thoughts. ?

Looks like a good idea to me. I'm in the middle of doing some decorating and I'm planning on putting a new socket in. If I just chisel out enough to glue the socket in then all I need to do is run a 45 deg channel to the new socket. The current one is already a spur so I'll just use 1mm cable (got a reel of black in the van) so that I don't overload it and job done. Saves on the cost of a back box and less work.

you could be on to something ...
 
It's funny, very rare to find no box at all but I've often found dry lining and surface boxes chased into solid walls.

come across loads of surface boxes recessed into walls around my area ,
mini trunking in chases is another common thing Im finding recently on Diy rewires
