Sprynda. I do it often. As e57 says, watch your derating. I usually cut a piece of galvanized sheet 2 inches bigger each way, use the old cover as a hole template, then they can paint it to dissappear. You then don't have to use all those j boxes an the job finishes neater. Look down a page or two for this topic discussed a few weeks ago in more detail. Look here https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007446.html I hope this link works, anyone know how to link back to previous post in a simpler manner?
