Excellent news on the V5

You have a lot of work to do there, it's gonna be good to see what you do with it.

I have some wiring diagrams that may help you sort out that birds nest.

I would repair that front mount with a metal plate and some GRP. the plate would stop the front cracking and breaking away again.
It's all about the grin on your face
