So I’ve had a go to at least improve it a little even if it may not be ideal, used the 42 and lots of the bond and seal, taken the shut off lever off for now need to cut the sticking out ends off. The cable ties are jump temp to let the bond set. I’ve also got an insulation jacket on order to fully cover the Y strainer. Also need a new clip as the screws were rounded off.
I am curious is putting a removable cover of benefit? If so are we talking about covering all the pipework even behind the heat pump?

You don't have to keep the lever bolted in place...
... so long as you remember where you put it in the event of needing to shut off the pipe in an emergency!
But you do need to cover that hole where the nut for the lever semi-protrudes.
You don't want rain to run inside the insulation now, because there's not an easy way for it to escape.
As I have a 3D printer, my solution would be to make a cover which clips into place.
But use adhesive-backed tape if that's all you have available.
