That's nice. That's exactly the space where you're wiring connectors are gonna have to go. You might want to rethink that before you get too involved.I ended up modelling and 3D printing a new mounting bracket for the Boyer electronic ignition. If you would like to print one, you can find the file and instructions here.
This was where the Boyer was mounted originally, on a piece of foam and secured using two zip ties. The unit didn't interfere with the original wiring loom. It is also where the Boyer instructions recommends to mount the unit.
Anyway, I am making a new wiring loom and the plan is to have all the connections in the headlight shell. So there should be space under the tank.

Are the Kegler clamps supposed to stop the cross tube from distorting under load ? I would probably engineer a thicker-walled cross tube. Earlier Nortons used to have Silentbloc bushes in the swing arm - we used to replace them with bronze - even that difference is an improvement.

No, they prevent the spindle from moving inside the tube so the thickness of the tube isn't the problem.
