There is a question.
i'd cut meter seals. teach them to fit meters with accessible (consumer side) terminals.
Whilst not impossible they are aluminium which I would replace it is highly unlikely they are steel. I would go for tinned copper.

no, not that. I am pretty sure they must be ally, but just not encountered them before.
OP
tonywithey
I feel that, if it is ok for the energy company to connect them to the existing, provided all of the proper testing is carried out and the results lie within parameters , then I cannot see a problem
If these are just tails I would be surprised if they were aluminium.
