My back wheel on me TS1 GP has a tiny bit of movement, a bit of a wobble. I have tried different hubs, cones, everything but can't get rid. The shaft itself is solid, gearbox all shimmed up proper. Any thought MUCH appreciated as it is doing my head in!

Not what I mean. When I grab the rear wheel and give it a shake, there is a tiny wobble

Worn hub bearing, easy enough to change.

yes and no
to get everything correctly shimmed in the gearbox you will need to have the side casing of and strup the clutch endplate lay shaft gears then the bearing and then put it all back and check the end float

Brand new hub bearing (Casa) was doing it before I changed bearing and still doing it! Engine has had all new bearings, new endplate, brand new close ratio gearbox, new clutch, the works. The only thing that has never been changed is the layshaft. Maybe it is worn but I can't see anything obvious. The splines all look good, can't see any obvious signs of wear

there is a "tiny" wobble on the wheel/hub anyway. How does it handle ?

Does it still do it after a reasonable run as it might be the clearance in the bearing
