Finally sneaked some time in this evening and first, filled the gearbox with oil.
I then cut off the original reversing switch plug and made up a new connector to the loom:
I did try to test the switch still worked using a multimeter but as I haven't got the clutch correctly adjusted, I couldn't get the gearbox into reverse to do the test - I'll have to hope it's OK.
After clarification from GBS about where the oil pressure sensor goes, I removed the bung in the engine but the sensor is the wrong size to fit in. The sensor came with my Smiths gauges, so shouldn't it fit? Back to GBS....
I then loosely fitted the plenum and fuel rail - looks much more engine-like now:
I think I've decided to not put any stalks on the steering column - I've got some Sierra stalks but no plugs or wires and I can't find anywhere to get them either. I also quite like the idea of lots of switches on the dash - I'm not really into minimalism, I prefer lots of buttons.
So, I've spent a long time building up a shopping cart of warning lights, plugs and rocker switches for lights, hazards, indicators etc. I just need to sort out which bits I need for the cooling system and I'll order them all.
Looking online, there are several different layouts for cooling systems and I've put a few posts on forums to try work out the best. Below is a nice simple example I hope I can duplicate:
