1) Are these crimps the same blue ones as I use for auto electrical work?

2) Should the earth be connected straight through, or connected to a
replacement back box (removed during this bodge).

As has been said further down this thread, the crimps you'd need to
use would be the blue 'butt splice' ones, using a decent crimp tool.

However, seeing as you're planning to use a new backbox anyway, my
suggestion would be to go with choc block strip connector because it
allows you more control over the connection strength.

The earth should go to the new box at at least one point.
