I'm guessing this is not kosher on the basis the connection can be quite
easily pulled apart? Are there any regs on the subject? (groan like
there's NOT going to be!)

ta.

I do not see any probem with properly made crimps - a proper crimp will NOT
pull apart. It may pull apart if you use a crap halfords set of "scissor"
crimps though.

One you get to main earth connections, likelihood is you will be out of
standard insulated crimps and into larger uninsulated crimps.

What is the conductor size and what type of earth are you proposing to
crimp?
