I finally managed to sort the guess-which-gear linkage without resorting to rose joints
It just needed a bit of fettling ie I should have taken the proper amount of time to do it properly in the 1st place.
2nd still needs a little hunting-for (but possibly no worse than factory) and the spare neutrals have gone.
At the moment the O/D switch supply wires are spiral taped to the lever, which you can just about see from the photo. If I get around to it (useful things those roundtuits) I will find a gaitor (or persuade the better half to stitch one up) to cover the lever.
Cheers
