Does what they meant to do
My gas-meter box, a Mark II (these studs are mark-specific), was installed by British Gas about 30 or so years ago; and, the tops of the original studs had 'aged', and turned brittle. When a meter technician came to fit a smart-gas-meter, he had to remove all the old studs. He obviously decided to reuse them: at this price I can't see why he did not fit a set of new studs - he'd get them at wholesale price. He must have broken one of them, as only two were re-fitted to the box and an empty stud hole was left. Then, another one broke a few months later; so I eventually did a temporary repair using a wooden dowel. A google search indicated that I could buy these items for what is a relatively small sum of money. Fitted the first stud into the empty hole in less than 10 seconds; had to 'tap' the broken body of the next stud to get it out; and the third one needed a bit more force. Complete job done in a couple of minutes. The fiddly one being the installation of the stud underneath the box.
