Oh, you might not be able to read my pencil scribble so:-
81 = starter solenoid
96 = in-line resistor
97 = fuel pump relay
103 = fuel pump
114 = oil pressure switch
284 = fuse (fusebox)
419 = line fuse - 15A

ERA now running......massive thanks to Paul and his power probe for firing up the new fuel pump, getting fuel flowing through to the carb and enabling us to start the car. Some careful tracking then pinpointed the fuel pump connection to the starter solenoid was not actually connected so no amount of cranking the car over would have sent any petrol through to the carb as no power was reaching the fuel pump - no wonder it wouldn't start.

Thanks to everyone who has offered help and advice via this forum. Plan to get it off the axle stands and out on the road Sunday before the euphoria of hearing it running has worn off.

PS If anyone ever needs a fuel pump I have have a good Bosch OE example just removed from an ERA Mini........
