Tim,
the 'coil' ends which you're after are the standard type for old-fashioned distributors.

Yes, have already looked there, just trying to get it sorted this weekend, while I have a little bit of spare time !

Managed to get some at a local 'old' motor shop (box of assorted leads behind counter). Routing around found a couple, different lengths, but doesn't really matter. Less than £2 each too ! Bracket made today at FiL's workshop and all fitted now, using original coil bolts through light bar.

Yes, all tested too (tested by giving it a few full throttle runs and getting the engine fully hot)
Restarts fine with minimal turning, maybe it's in the mind but it does *seem* a little livlier, so all good so far.

Hardest part was making the bracket - but FiL with an engineering business does have its advantages!
