But personally I like a large plastic stuffing gland into a plastic box at the load end if creating a TT island, rather than trying to fit heatshink over cut back armour.
But you need an accessible connection to the end of the armour in order to test Zs or R2.
At least the brass gland into a plastic enclosure arrangement (with a boot or heatshrink over the gland outside of the enclosure) gives access with the enclosure lid removed.

As I've said in an earlier post, all this does is store up the problem for the next electrician ... or a member of the public.
Connect an insulated fly-lead to the SWA gland before you put cold-shrink over it. Use a "gapping adaptor" ... and take the insulated fly-lead into the enclosure via a separate stuffing gland - connect it into a separate DIN-rail terminal (one used for a LIVE conductor), and appropriately label it "ONLY FOR TEST PURPOSES, DO NOT CONNECT TO EARTH".
And in this manner, if you heat-shrink over the insulated live conductors so they are "double insulated" you can even terminate into a metal enclosure without a problem.
