Andy, I didn't open up the Furutech - not even sure if it's possible without destroying the receptacle. The hot/neutral terminals and receptacle look like this:The clamping action on the wire has far more surface area and is much more secure than the fixing screw connections in the clipsal. Like I said in the previous post the FP-15's grip on the male plugs (Furutech FI-11Cu in my case) is much, much higher than the sloppy connection I got with the Clipsal/Aussie male plug.
BTW the distance between the fixing points on the FP-15 match the fixing spacing of the Clipsal - making substition pretty simple. You will require an appropriate receptacle cover, I used the Furutech stainless steel version below:
Worth noting that the FP-15 is a 125V/15A part - ie it is NOT specified for our 240V system in Australia. I checked the specs on the (heavy duty) 8200 P&S receptacles, and though rated at 125V, they have a maximum working voltage of 250V and dilectric voltage specified to withstand 2000V minimum. I'd expect the Furutech to be similar as the construction and materials are similar (and they must meet the same regs), but haven't seen the detailed specs. Since I'm pretty certain the technical performance of the Furutech would exceed the Clipsal, I can't see any problem using these parts from a practical perspective (insurance companies might think otherwise) but you should be aware of these facts and install at your own risk.
