Old butler bell fixing

[ash_scotland88]

Fyi - I'vele not resized images so may be a tad large.

 

I've went to refit a butler bell after some renovations works. Between the spark accidently removing and throwing it in the skip and plasterers being rough casters by trade (yeah for subbies -_-) what's left isn't suitable to fix it back to.

 

There's half/ three quarters of the old back box left in the wall. I can't remember if it was part smashed before work began, but I doubt it.

 

 

The grid plate is an old version of MK3621.

 

Any feasible solutions for re-fitting? Old back box looks like it's 53mmx53mm internal.

 

One of many small details of a long list I've been left to deal with.

What is the question?  Looks like you have fitted the yoke into the back box and have a front plate / switch that will fix to that.  What problem am I missing?

 

Other than connecting to the remnants of the cable in the old back box (hope that is not 240V)

It was how to fix it as I couldn't see a way how with a damaged box and build up of plaster.

 

I've now found how it was done previously.

 

Looks like I need to find a tiny no doubt imperial screw...

 

I thought it had been more secured than that.

 

And don't worry not 240v and currently whole system is disconnected and off the wall.

What do you call tiny?  Old electrical boxes used to be BA threads, probably 4BA or you could tap it with the next size up metric tap.  But BA size screws should be easy to buy.

Perfect thanks.

 

I would have said it would have been an M2. Looked around half an M4 anyway...

Probably 6BA then.
