Default F Sockets ?

After re-routing the cable from the dish last summer, drilling the frame
and rewiring internally, my wife has decided she now wants to rearrange
things....

So, does anyone know if there is a surface mount twin f socket box
available?

I need four but 2 twins would do fine then I can wire them in and she
can play to her hearts content with the extensions...

Yes, I just ordered some: MK ones - model number K3525D1WHI. But something
of a luxury item at £11.21 each(!)

Well buy some MK blanks and make your own plates. There's an article
about it on my website somewhere.

You just buy a surface mount plastic pattress. But if you are surface
mounting how come everything has to be MK Logic? Surface mount being
inherently naff?

Perhaps he means flush. I can understand the confusion.

It doesn't have to be MK but it does have to be surface. The wall is
stone with just a skim of plaster - there is no depth to it - and trying
to chase out stone is something I gave up doing years ago...

Nah. I said what I meant but failed to think about a surface box to take
the plates...
