Also there does not appear to be a good earth going to the starter motor (ign on, not running). The starter itself seems earthed. This may be related to the coil or maybe it doesn't earth until its cranking??? i know nothing about this shit!

I will test the old mans WB to see if it's any different.

Then i'll change coils.

Then i'll try another neutral safety switch.

Then.... that's it. It'll be time to ring in the pro's!
If it still has points in the dizzy, you won't see an earth till the points are closed.
Did you do an earth to the starter or just the rad support? (Rad support doesn't need a real thick one as it's the earth for gauges/lights etc. whereas the starter can draw 300 to 400 Amps hence why this one has to be thick).

Also, can you just give a refresher of what doesn't work now, without going into detail as to what you've done please.
