Hard to find a good used wheel and once you clean off the surface rust you may find it is cracked. A common problem on old bikes 
I've been told as much but so far I've not found anywhere that will reline it

The brake lining on my 550f is cracked, I've looked at getting it relined but I think a good used wheel or hub may be a more straightforward option if I relaced it to my rim.

Yes I did James, I've found a few gremlins so far but it's a good base.

That's correct.
Perfect! Let rebuilding commence

As much as I've searched I can't find an answer to which slot the needle clip should be in as stock, they are currently at no2 from top.

I've fitted YSS emulators to my old sv650, really high quality stuff for the price.

The spring is missing, I was going to make something up to do that job for now but I'll definitely go down the 500 filter mod as originality isn't something I'm bothered about. I still intend light modifications and haven't ruled out doing a bit of a cafe racer.

This is the airfilter fitted to it that's had the element cut away for some reason, is it a cb500?

Yeah it was emission related, California related almost certainly.
You can ditch it all and just fit the 500 filter, keeps cleaner as well. Vent the pipe from the breather over to atmosphere.
Either keep the old stuff or sell it on, your choice.
Using a 500 air filter sounds a far simpler option to me, and this won't affect carb jetting from standard? I'm also missing the airbox lid😫

Yeah I'm having alarm bells too! I'll go through every connector and clean or recrim with jap connectors that I've got from doing my xs. Hopefully nothing too bad with it all, the seller claimed he'd ridden it in 2017 but I have my doubts, however it did have a clean MOT in 2016 so I wonder if he'd raided it for parts as it had no fuses or spark plugs when I got it delivered.

I had a bit of a deeper delve into my bike yesterday, the air box has been messed with to the point I'm not sure what's missing even when looking at the Cmsnl parts list. I'm guessing lots of the parts aren't even available any longer which leaves a bit of a dilemma.
Can anyone advise me as to why I have two cut wires in the loom that have been connected seemingly the wrong way? Hopefully I've got the carb parts here to reassemble and bench sync and fuses on their way so I might be able to test the electrics by next week...who knows I might even get it started.

That's a bit more than OK Ken it looks fantastic, it's got me thinking though, my 550 must have a 500 cover on it.
If yours is a CB550 F1 it came with the 500 Four cover
I've just been looking at Google images and got very confused for a moment. Yep mine is an F1 which clears that one up, for a moment I was thinking I had a bit of a mongrel. 😆

I have a spare number 4 carb body, 069a, and most of the internals for the rest of the carb bodies, I'm just waiting for Dom to see if he needs anything else besides the carb body, an emulsion tube and the jet leaf spring. Looking at the state of his carbs it's likely that he will.
Sent you a pm

All float pins came out easily Trigger, the pin entry end of the emulsion tube is only slightly marred on the top edge but I'll replace it anyway.
