Ash I have a genuine Honda points base plate complete with wires and points etc lying around. If you want it you can have it, I'll include it with the front disc when I send it, still waiting on that one as I think maybe you'll need some more parts and cheaper to send them all together.
Looking at those bits, especially the tensioner that engine has done sod all miles mate, you said one bore had a ridge silly question but was it wear or just a carbon ridge?
Have come across this problem with the needle roller on a couple of the early 500K0 engines. Check to see if you have these parts fitted : oil guide plate 23106-323-000 and bearing plate 23102-323-000. The ones I had needle roller problems never had these fitted.

Didn't see the first one though, pretty sure the engine doesn't have it fitted.

I have done a couple that the needles have got so hot that they were burnt and the shaft had to be replaced. The oil guide plate holds the oil long enough to lube the roller bearing.
