Doh!! So the yz spindle is a lot shorter than the dt. So the next thing to try will be to see if I can take the dt wheel hub and fit it in the yz wheel with the yz spokes.
Thoughts?

Haven't posted in a while but things are still slowly moving .
The wheel has been with the builder for a week now so hoping to have it back soon.
Ordered the wrong front yz calliper doh!! So sending that back and ordering another. They calliper carry is wider on a 98 then the 97. My forks are 98
.The yz exhaust has arrived as well but I forgot to take a photo. It doesn't quite fit might need a little bit of heat and some bending to make it work but it's not to far off.

It's back!!! The wheel is finally back!!
So this is a 19" yz excel rim on a dt125r hub.
Fits nice even with the wheel pushed althe way towards the engine there's still clearance.

So the project isn't dead I've just been extremely busy with work.
Finally found a twin rad setup that works - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252198042402
The bike is currently at the machine shop getting the engine brackets and radiator brackets made up.
And this arrived today

Yes mate that is awesome.
Wicked find on those radiators too!
Even though my project is done, a set of ally radiators will be bought to help with the heat dissapation!
Top job.
