Howdy, I'm looking for help with my plan to install an extra internal double socket and an external double waterproof socket to my garage.

I believe its a radial circuit at the moment, with mains electrical supply coming from the house to a fused circuit board, 30A fuse to current double socket, and a 5A fuse to a switched light.

As it's a radial socket I propose adding another internal double socket from the existing one, and then a waterproof double socket on the external wall from the newly added double socket.

My attempts at a wiring diagram for the original wiring, and my proposed plan are attached...

It's quite an old circuit board (see photo below), so If anyone is able to offer any advice on whether this is possible, and whether I need to change the circuit board or fuses currently installed, or is 30A the correct amount of protection?

Any assistance will be most gratefully received!
