Pete you dont need a dial gauge they are more accurate than ever needed, Honda only trued to 1/8 inch!!!
Just a piece of welding wire clamped so its close to the rim is all you need BUT take note of where the rim is welded together as trying to true out the kink caused there will send you to the looney bin mate.
As a hint separate the spoke into the 2 types and only fit the 20 where you can see the head on the outside of the hub, when you have it true on those 20, which is a lot easier as there are less to play with, you fit the other 20 by feeding them through and getting all the tensions equal

Firdt obvious sign of an early one is the sticker on the side panel under the 500 Four badge that states
Honda Motor Co.,
Tokyo Japan.
there were press models and i have seen one about years ago, if you can find pictures you should find registrations.
The first Japanese ones had fixed footrests, a light in the steering stem top nut and several other mods from other markets but officialy only K1 models ever came to the UK, even whilst US had a K2

hels are easy and you don't need anything special to get to manufactures spec, a vice and a long screwdriver is all you need and lacing them in the right order

If you mean the stud is pulling out you will have to helicoil the hole

Ash, they are all numbered/letterd even the early ones but i have found from experience that it is possible to swap just the caps, sometimes they fit better by turning them round.
i have found that if when you drop them on there is no "step" from cap to carrier at the bearing surface they will run happily. Way back when the shop i worked for used to keep on the shelf carriers, cams and followers for two engines and we had a man who would spend hours grinding the cam bearing surfaces and boring the carries then fitting pegged half roun bronze bushes, but he gave up years ago

K0 had the hook latch and different patten seat squares, also smaller yellow reflectors on headlamp brackets, clock brackets and chrome backs like all the UK ones, different fork internals and if VERY early slightly different shape crancases
