Thanks Kolloh. Very reassuring with all the conflicting information around. I didn't want to experiment with my Bitcoin wallet with just hours to go before the BIP148 UASF/SegWit implementation and the subsequent hard fork.

So let me get this right - the sequence of securing Bitcoin Cash would be something like this:
1) After the fork install a new Electrum wallet and send all your existing BTC from your old wallet to it;
2) Install a BCC wallet (or BCH as it is now being called);
3) In your old wallet, click on the 'Wallet' tab > 'Private Keys' tab > 'Export' tab to reveal the private keys and addresses;
4) Copy and paste each private key individually and import them one-by-one into the BCC wallet using the 'Import' function;
5) Copy and paste each address individually and import them one-by-one into the BCC wallet using the 'Import' function;

or copy and paste the whole lot in one go straight into the BCC wallet, if that wallet allows it. Have I got it right?

For anyone who is interested, here's a list of links leading to wallets recognising BCC from the https://www.bitcoincash.org/ website:
Bitcoin ABC https://www.bitcoinabc.org/
Bitcoin Classic https://bitcoinclassic.com/downloads/bcc/
Bitcoin Unlimited https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/download
Bitcoin XT https://bitcoinxt.software/
Electron Cash http://www.electroncash.org/
BTC.com https://wallet.btc.com/#/setup/register
Freewallet https://freewallet.org/
Coinomi https://coinomi.com/ ... and the
Ledger https://www.ledgerwallet.com/  and
Trezor https://wallet.trezor.io/#/  hard wallets

I understand Jaxx is also working on a BCC wallet http://decentral.ca/jaxx-statement-bitcoin-cash-bch/

Any recommendations for ease in importing private keys and addresses, or even any that simply use the seed words to access BCC?
