John, Thanks for helping...I am sure that SJS would not sell a product they hadn't tested and made sure that it worked, so the only other alternative is that I have done something wrong through inexperience or just plain stupidity!...which is the most likely explanation
.
OK, pictures first:

They don't supply a guide, so I have been using parts of yours and parts of Lotus.
I asked about the abutment bracket and they said it was the S2 one, so I could use my Existing one,...I will ask them again about that.
What I have done starting from the Shift Lever:
No adjust meant at the eye, the eye screwed up tight to the rod end
At the Assembly bracket, at first I had about 6mm of thread proud on the leverside but found I could not get the assembly in to the Chassis hole as the eye was jamming on the hole, so I reduced the thread showing till it was flush, the assembly then went through.
At the Abutment bracket I had no thread showing on the shift lever side as that was how the original cable was...which meant that right from the start there was no adjustmeant at that point.
At the CrossGate pin I adjusted the eye to make the rod/eye longer by approx 4mm, any more and it would not be safe as there is not much more thread available.
So with those settings I find that with the Crossgate lever at it's max distance away from the abutment bracket, i.e. in 1st or 2nd gear, the eye is short of the pin.

So, if I attach the eye with the gear lever in 3rd I cannot move the shift lever into 1st or 2nd...so 5th & Reverse is fine as is 3rd & 4th
I am hoping you can tell me what a blind bat I am and that the answer is really simple and it's just my limited intelligence that stopping me from completing this cable swop!!
Many Thanks, Kevin
