Question anyone any guidance how thick the copper needs tobe between 2 modules?

Anyone any idea how to protect the copper strip/bar? Will heat shrink do?

Is there need to use some kind of paste between the terminals and the copper?

it depends on which terminals are on your battery cells. For example, I use new Catl with laser-welded screws. there are aluminum terminals and using copper tires is very stupid. So I go to Leroy Merlin and buy an inexpensive 20x2 mm aluminum strip . this is enough with a margin and does not require any protection.
