Seen thousands of these boxes , 1950,s

TIP : colapse the sides in with a hammer and screwdriver this will leave the back plate only , then screw your nice new 16mm metal box to that.

Better tip....

Take the back bit out as well & put your metal box deeper into wall, in-case customer wants dimmer switch at later date! ; )

more depth.... bigger fatter switches can fit in!B-)
