What's missing here ?

Can`t say i`ve seen the back rear screw cap look like that before ?

there isn't anything missing, it looks like an aftermarket 'power-adjuster' cunningly disguised as an anti-tamper

If that's the case, surely the actual adjusters missing,as its wound in as far as it goes, not like the early Mk1's...

 yes the adjusting tool is missing

later blocks with M20 thread? aren't cut as deep as the older imperial ones so the cap just sits flush with the edge of the block.

So I would hazard a guess that the cap is locked in using the two outer holes and the central one is the actual adjustment that's wound in with an Hex or Torx.

At the moment there seems to be a list of people waiting to buy, an ideal time to move on a dodgy Rapid for top price.
Look out KevG, there's likely to be an increase in repairs and renovations.
