Getting close now, shake down run around Kent yesterday evening revealed one problem.
The fuel gauge is showing permanently full - so I need to do a little troubleshooting. Made slightly harder since I had to fill the tank - so it actually is full now. I generally fill based on milage anyway - ~120 miles casually look for a garage ~150 miles on vapour - so not a showstopper.
Update - found the problem, the gauge connector/plug needed a wriggle, sender is good, loom is good, backlighting was good. Turns out Smiths gauges show full if they get no signal.
If it does it again I'll replace the connector.
All set!
