So I've just been out for a poke about. The cap is perished, however, if you squeeze it the grease oozes out

Did you replace the circlip on the end of the drive shaft?

I have never been near the hubs as yet, its on my list. I have ordered a new cap, so when it arrives I'll check the integrity of the circlip.

I have the part to do the tappets - Question, when I replace the rocker gasket do I need anything to seat it like instant gasket sealer or will it just press home?

I do put a smear of clear hylomor each side of the gasket just so it does not move when replacing the cover. Dont need to much.

Should be normal 6mm rivets as the checker plate Is countersunk.

VIN question from my 110 if I may?
Looking at the Rimmer catalogue etc for part numbers I’m directed to the VIN. Anyhoo I look at the engine plate and it don’t match the V5C
Anyhoo, after digging off the wax oil the chassis VIN, engine plate and engine all match. The discrepancy Is the 6th letter, on the V5C shows a ‘B’ which isn’t even listed in the descriptors the Car shows an ‘M’ for 110. Can I simply send this to DVLA (change vehicle details) as it looks like an input error at some point, or should I blast it with pizz .
The unique serial (last 6) match on everything.

Send it to DVLA just fill in the correct number in the change section and add a covering letter to explain its a 110 so should be 'M'
I changed the frame number on my bike recently it was because they had mixed up the last 3 digits Had to chase them with a couple of phone calls but no issue.
Also changed engine number and CC in the overfinch so it was correct also no issues
Much better to have all numbers right this day and age

I think the Bearmach comes with adaptors for the oil cooler. Cheers @jamesmartin

I have a leak at the rear where the hardtop to body foam seal has perished or gone hard. Is it possible to loosen the fixings to create enough space to fit a new seal or does the panel need to come out which will affect other seals like upper panel to roof seal?

I've only ever taken the sides off or on while the roof was off, but on a 110 I think you'd be lucky to force enough of a gap at the front, especially since the roof seals are probably just as fragile as the body/sides ones. With a 90 (and no B or C post) you'd probably have got away with it.
I think you'd be best to wait for summer and do it properly....
