Don't bodge it having got that far in.
IIRC it's a UNC thread so use a helicoil insert. The one-time use kits aren't so dear anymore, but SRM (among others) do one-off repairs too.

If I put an in-line fuse into the battery feed, what amp rating should it be?
Add up all the lighting watts, then divide by 12. Use the next fuse rating up.

Is there any value in putting an ignition type switch into the lighting / charging circuit or should I just stick with the kill switch from the magneto?
Yes, it stops fiddlers leaving your lights on if nothing else.
BTW the stop/tail light problems are probably down to poor earthing to the lamp unit.

Nice job!
Front mudguard is unusual though, as it has an odd front edge.
Almost looks as if it's on back to front?

Just been on the "replacement" for the old CB site.

Dear oh dear, there's some sad and lost souls on there. Then again, maybe there always was....  

Seems good to me, other than the management didn't forsee that time when bikes would become playthings rather than daily transport, and plan models accordingly.

Seems like they also didn't understand that some people just to ride at weekends, and not grind in valves,remake connections, etc etc...

Agreed, we can only speak as we find, but you may find (should the need arise) that Mr Goff's, errrr, after sales and complaints department is non-existent.

Put it this way, I'd pay double rather than use him again.

Nice bike, and that's one Hell of a Trophy you got there.

How did you get that home on the bike....

Looks like a sculpture of a WW2 era airman. What's that all about?

ps bike looks correct apart from later tank badges.

All the time bikes fetch those prices, then what you stated can't be true; they ARE worth only what they'll fetch on the open market, and that's true of nearly everything.
A late model TR6 made £1200 on Ebay last week or so, and that hardly prices any potential classic owner out of the market. As me old granny used to say, "you have to cut your cloth according to your means" and it still holds true. 8-)
