The new battery arrived, so I filled it with acid and let it charge for a few hours before fitting it:


After checking the oil and giving it some fresh petrol, it eventually started :)

OK, so its a runner (sort of)... After finally getting the correct battery sorted and fitted, it eventually started :)
However, there was a not too healthy knocking noise from the engine The engine is coming out in anycase biut if anyone has an idea re what it is likely to be im interested. It sounds like a "mechanical" knock so im guessing its going to something like primary chain rattling or crankshaft bearings ?
