But some what easier to break than 2.5 T&E (or bigger) after a fire
has destroyed a plastic clip, which would also have annealed the
copper and removed all the insulation. Nasty all the same.

the size of copper depends on the current carrying capacity, not the
insulation.


So I take it that the hardened pin and plastic cable clip fixings are
no longer legal?

depends where
