Don't forget the switch on the front to switch it to US mode, the only 
difference in terms of operation between a UK spec machine and a US one is 
the pound sterling (�) to octothorpe (#) symbol. The UK & US keyboard 
layouts are identical and the switch only
really affects the display ROM.

i.e. PR#3 displays as PR�3

Personally I'd just install the keyboard and set the switch on the front 
(Underneath the keyboard on the sloping bit) to US mode, it's what I do with 
my German //c

I do have access to a UK enhanced ROM set but no means to read them at the 
moment, so if you REALLY want a UK set I can possibly help.
