    Hello there. Just wondering if you kept the control panel or threw it over the fence as I was looking to replace one of the switches on mine. I’m gonna keep it I think.
    Cheers

    It went over the fence I think! I know we kept it for years and it may still be kicking around our storage but no good to you as I can't get at it until September earliest... @davidoft probably has one in his US stash?

    No worries. It was worth a shout.

    Hello
    Tried to order this item from fruit ridge tools USA as per @busmonkey but they don’t supply them anymore. They still do the female part though.
    I’m trying to keep the original USA flap but upgrade the internals to 240v.
    Anyone got any ideas as to where I can get one I’ve tried a lot of other USA sites but no joy. I think they may have stopped making it.

    As this was the original thread.....
    Well after 3 years of asking questions, 3 different threads, and squirrelling away bits by buying them gradually so as to avoid suspicion from missus. I managed to fit it all bit by bit over the 2nd lockdown. Out with the old Dr Who transformer and 110v sockets and inlet socket and in with the new. I wanted to keep the original inlet flap so a lot of thought went into it.
    Thank you to @@matty @@Valveandy @@snotty @@theBusmonkey @@mikedjames and so many others !!

    it all works superbly and the buzz socket tester agrees.

    Thank you again everyone.
