Hey, many thanks to you all for the advice and the enthusiasm/willingness to help. this is such a great forum for people starting out like me, your wealth of experience is so valuable, keep it coming ! I am experimenting on my prototype lash up with all the suggestions from you folk, hopefully heading to a settled arrangement so I can start laying out a customised turret board. I'm afraid for me the looks of the finished article is so important - As someone once said -
" You're either proud of your work, or you are not ! "

Now wheres that soldering iron !
