I have the chance of a pair of Monitor MA6 speakers would these be suitable/good speakers?.

Get them snapped up David
MA always went the extra mile with their real wood veneers, so even ropey examples could be sanded and refinished. I like Monitor Audio's early speakers, I had a pair of their R352s in the 80s, and currently own some R852 MDs which aren't going anywhere any time soon.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
Speakers: KEF Reference 3, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables
T'other system:
Echo Dot, Arcam A75 integrated, Monitor Audio R852 MD speakers
A/V:
LG OLED65 G56LS, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL T9i sub.

Im about to convert the tonearm for RCA sockets the original SME plug has a separate ground wire that connects via the mounting screw on the socket to the tonearm then the black wire on the tonearm has a lug on the backside of that screw.
I have seen that I could solder the black to the green of the right channel to achieve the ground without needing a separate lead is that correct?.

Why can't you connect the black wire with its lug to one of the fixings of the plate that carries the RCA connectors? You will still need a connection from the arm base to the metalwork/earthing terminal on your amplifier.
How is the metalwork of your Thorens turntable earthed?

The original sme plug has the earth incorporated so takes it from the arm metalwork to the turntable plate then turntable to amp.
So once the rca sockets are fitted I'll need to put an earth from the arm to the turntable base?.

Yes, and you will also need a separate connection between the arm base/turntable metalwork and your amplifier.
