McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Could the tight spots be due to the remnants of the four stake marks?

I think so Ted, it winds in fine but for the slightest bit of resistance it those points.  I think a bit of working back and forth with some grease today might sort it. 

I've ordered a tap and die set to tap the carb bracket to take an m4 dog point screw which should be the final part to getting the carbs back together, just the top end to assemble engine wise then.  Next step is making a seat base and cowl, I've been watching tutorials on Easy Composites website to make a mouldless carbon or fibreglass part...looks like good fun!

Bryanj:
Dom, have you the proper tool for tightening the retainer?

I don't Bryan, I'm not quite at that stage yet mate,  I'm contemplating powdercoating the rims and stainless spokes but Christmas has been expensive!
