I've not seen one with rubbers fitted in the air holes before though, probably fitted to stop the edges from rusting
Oh and to answer your question about the camchain, it's 88 links for the 500/550 although you've sorted the problem now.

O if it is 500 thats why it fits well so Ill keep it unless a better one turns up.
I put those grommets in - thought it looked better.
yes, sorted on cam chain thanks.

Remove the cover and the foam and get the pan powder coated, just fit the 5 standard cushion rubbers. Check the bolt holes for the seat bracket aren't stripped out before having it powder coated. If they are get 2 nuts welded to the inside after removing the captive nuts Honda used.

Yes, I’ve just checked my 550 F2. It’s a 500 seat pan.

About ready to go in. started to get the clutch in order and seem to have everything but the push rod. DS have them used for £15 or I can by silver Steele 8mm rod in the correct length for £7.50.
What do you think is the best option?

You should have said last time you were here, we have NOS ones in the draw and very good used ones🙄🙄🙄 Silver steel is good but you need to have the ends hardened.
