Hi all, new owner of a '84 Westie here.

Just came home from its maiden voyage and my 14 year old son reached
down to the floor and picked up a piece of plastic and asked, "Hey
Dad, is this important?" It was the plastic push-pin from the 15 amp
circuit breaker on the 120 cabinet outlet.

Apparently the pin had been broken off by something striking it from
an angle. (A foot, some cargo? Who knows?) Seemed like a bad design
decision in the first place.

My question is, is there any reason I can't just replace the stock
Westie breaker with a recessed 15 amp GFI circuit breaker like the
ones put into US kitchens and bathrooms? The kind with the recessed
red button. Should fit the electrical box, although I haven't yet
checked this. That way the reset button would not stick out to be
struck of by an errant object.

Anyone done this before?

regards,

Thomas
