Thanks for the offer pete but i've had both the clocks to bits and changed the needles, replaced all the shot bulbs in the gear indicator and got the speedo working again which in reality was just bent tangs in the drive.
Kill switch is wrecked and bypassed and pass switch has stopped working which i've not investigated yet. Both mirror mounts are u/s and need replacing. Otherwise the cockpit area is good, got some new cut down renthals and new grips on.

dont buy a cheap crimper. buy a ratchet crimper. theyre not stupidly expensive, but not dirt cheap either. but you will own it forever.
