At that price it's cheaper to buy a copy of the BS document!

Has it not occured to you that British Standard documents are copyrighted? If they weren't we would all have a copy of BS7671 on file instead of paying £50 for a copy! You have NO CHANCE of getting a freebie!

Why do you call yourself "brightspark13" That username gives me the impression that you are a sparky (and a clever one at that). The work you describe should be well within the capability of a bright sparky. The fact that you are asking how to do this speaks volumes. Your limited...

You don't really know what you're doing, do you?

Yes it sounds normal. Happy now? As B-A-S says, stop assuming and go and check!

Time to reproduce my picture again eh?

I agree with FWL_Engineer. 10mm at least, not 6mm! Much better Iz figure. Also worried about your 40A fuse ( In ) when your Ib figure is 41.5A

Is this the "heavy duty" cooker cable you mentioned earlier that is now installed? Or is this the cable you removed?
