The somewhat incidental nature of the earthing contact on original Eddystone mains connectors worries me- definitely a case of safety first personally, unless it's going to be an unused shelf queen/collector's piece. A non-injurious-to-existing-metalwork solution could be a blanking plate over the mains connector oval hole with a grommet for a short stub of cable with IEC C14 line plug, I've also seen a plate cut for an IEC C6 ("laptop") panel plug used in this situation, this being small enough not to require filing/cutting of the rear panel.
