Opera works perfectly for me.

I had a bit more of a look at my electronics points conversion this morning, I noticed where the 45 deg advance thing comes from. The magnets are cast into the plastic button in-between the lobes that operate the points, not sure if other manufacturers are in the same place but it makes sense as this is where there is the most plastic.

I have also noticed that with the other manufacturers that the electronic module is in a different location to mine. Mine is installed pretty much where the points would be, and others are further round in the advanced direction from where the points would be.
Effectively with my installation I have the moved the firing of the ignition 45 deg in relation to the rotor button which explains why I need to rotate the distributor so far. So need to think of an easy solution to this problem. Obviously the people that designed this nether thought about the rotor button and cam lobe relationship.

Hi Col
Just to add to what Jaan said, The centre of the skew gear has a hole in to which you can screw a bolt. Lift and rotate a tooth or two to get the alignment right.
Ex.
Here is a pic of the modified rotor button, you can see where I ground down the original locating lug and made a new lug out of a 4 mm cheese head screw. I drilled a 4 mm hole in the side of the rotor button to locate the lug and add some mechanical strength as well.

I like that 4 mm hole. Call me conservative, but I'd be making a second one for the glovebox.... Such a neat idea Col. That's what you call lateral thinking.
Yer just a shame it didn't work as planned.
Why not? 45 degrees the wrong way?
I did think about that John, then I decided to see how much rotation there was with the rotor stationary measuring between the centre terminal and cylinder #1 terminal of the distributor cap. I found that there is enough range in rotation and decided to leave things as they are for the time being.
Okay I think I'm on to it but I think someone already suggested this, possibly you Col.
Attached are some pics of a dizzy from an 810 motor but I think the principle is the same for the 807 dizzies. with regard to the way the peg fits into the slot in the skew gear . The peg is offset so that it can only go in one way. Under the coiled spring (shown in the pic as being wound onto to the land above) there is a pin that is easily punched out. It appears that this is on the centre line. This means you can drive it out and rotate the peg 180 deg. Which I think would only give you 90deg change in relative position of the rotor to a terminal on the cap, which you are saying doesn't work (because you've tried swapping around the plug leads). But you may be able to drill the peg collar in another place to effect a relative change closer to 30-45 deg.

If it runs.....
Yes it is running fine at the moment.
The only question is how long will this cheap module go for? So far so good
The injection triggers are a bit different, they have a cam set-up that opens the breakers for approx 160° of the dizzy rotation, not just a pulse as per these or points.If you are handy at shaping up small bits of aluminium plate and have some small drills and taps it would not be hard to make one of these point replacement modules fit anything.
For your setup I think you would need two of these, one for the ignition and one for the injection system. Not sure how much room there is inside the Bosch distributor where the points are for the injection system. These modules are quite a bit taller than a set of points.
