Would 10mm tails be acceptable?

[Bobster]

Really? ...... thought they were quite common for the example given by the OP.

I don't do domestic work. So no, not seen them before.

Can anyone else remember using 6mm tails looping out of a Wylex board main switch to supply a new 1 way board for a shower? [Or other additional circuit]

If there's Daags present...

D’you like daags?

Never done it myself always thought it was a bit rough to be fair but it was quite a common occurrence round these parts.

Am I right in thinking wylex boards had dual incoming terminals for exactly that purpose once upon a time?

I'm sure I've seen this on really old boards.

Some Wylex fuseboards had the 'extenso' terminals after the main switch, plenty of the Wylex 60a switchfuses certainly had dual incoming terminals.

I've seen that Dave but rarely, more common to see the far left of the busbar [furthest away from the main switch] with terminals at the bottom the same as the outgoing 'ways' - you could loop from this and the neutral bar to an 'Extenso' unit as Freddo mentioned and this would just be an enclosure with a couple of fuse carriers isolated by the original main switch.
