Maybe worth checking the manifolds do interchange. I remember reading somewhere that the in let manifolds were not interchangable. Could well be wrong but worth checking all the same.

10amp and 15amp circuits are simuler but not the same. Yes they both run 2.5 mm cable but a 15 amp has one plug per circuit. Where as a 10amp circuit has several plugs running off the same breaker.
