Hi on my b38 2003 i use  adapters at the moment to convert two pin to 3 pin 240 v sockets. ,however they can get very hot and in some cases melted !!!! , would rather fit proper 3 pin uk ones , for those that have done this , what did you use , where did you source , any tips ?

Thanks in anticipation of your help

I think these are what you want.  I swapped mine when I got the boat back to the UK

This company can supply what you want . They are identical in appearance to originals supplied by Bavaria.

  I have done (am doing) all mine and bought these.  The assembly comes apart easily and the bits you want (sockets) fit exactly to the originals used.  Both singles and doubles.   The doubles, as you prob can see, are in fact just two singles together with a cover.

I changed mine out completely and installed extra ones in the each cabin. I put a ring main circuit throughout the boat so if need be I can add extra sockets if required. I installed 3 of nickel chrome in main cabin (2 in galley area) and 3 normal wight ones in sleeping cabins thats the luxury of being and electrical tech  ;D
