The " Historic" class has already been altered twice since starting so they could easily do it again!

If you think about it the lower mounting on the fours is the sameas the outer is tight in the swing arm whilst the inner is trapped by the lower shock bolt in the fork, it works because the angle of movement is minimal so the rubber does not tear BUT from experience of bigger ones the bolt should only be tightened when the suspension is in its "normal" position i.e. not body jacked up or loaded down

Any points plate from a 400/500/550/75] will fit.
Setting the points and timing is the fidliest job on a Honda and when doing it regularly you develope a knack as when you rotate the plate the gap alters and when you alter the gap the timing moves, as you have discovered.
You have to buy a decent set of feelers to get the0.35 you need(14thou).
One thing i have done in the past is if the big plate is extra sloppy in the crankcase poles fit some very thin bent shims to reduce the diameter BUT it has to be an equal shim on each post

I think its a bad Japanese to Engrish technical translation mate and the clearance is just to say there should be one with needle on seat and float at lowest level

No idea why they show the clearance Ken, was first page from Common Tools list out of Blue Book, but it does say "New" so perhaps why no 500/550/750 sohc
