also, at about 8 through to 6 o'clock, does it look like there is a gap between the drum liner and the hub?

It looks like the locating lugs from the drive cushion have broken off which might suggest the cushions themselves are perished. I would have a look to make sure.

I agree, never carry a spare link, no need. It definitely isn't a weak point, the load is taken by the solid link part, there shouldn't be any great side to side forces if everything is adjusted correctly and the chain and sprockets are in good condition.
While we are on the subject, I would also recommend fitting a Scott-Oiler, marvellous contraption, maintains your chain in tip-top order. I have one on my 500, hidden where the airbox used to go. Cannot rate it highly enough.

In my opinion and experience over the last 40 years of riding a motorbike, split links work perfectly. The only problem you might have is with a badly adjusted or poorly lubricated chain, and of course making sure you have it on the right way

Insprired by Juits' wheel rebuild and looking ahead to the winter, I think it is time to tackle my front wheel which has needed a build for at least 20 years now.
My questions are, what size is the rim?
What spokes should I order?
Who are good suppliers?
Apart from originality, are there practical considerations between, stainless steel, aluminium, or chromium plated steel? My preference would be for stainless steel but I thought maybe it wouldn't be as stable as aluminium or steel?
I would be grateful for your thoughts.
Many thanks,
Steve

does anyone have an exhaust pipe, 4-1, (not motad) or will I just have to fork out a fortune for a Delkevic? current pipe held together with bandages, limited budget.

I fear I may have to rebuild my front wheel this winter. Can anyone here recommend a good person, not too expensive?

yes, the gearboxes are almost identical and much easier to find.
