Sooooo... moving on.... my chosen clutch arrived. I had tried the refurb route from the link Error404 gave, however when he looked at the cover he decided it was scrap, I did wonder, as the fingers were very worn, but I only noticed as I was boxing it up to send it to him. Oh well.....
They did offer to make a clutch, but I would need to send flywheel, release bearing etc to them, and while I am sure it would be lovely, I went with one of these instead, delivered from Germany within a week (I am looking at you Audi Tradition!):

These are built to order, and then confirmed with me a couple of details during manufacture, and it fits! (the most important thing).
I needed a clutch alignment tool, and with an absence of scrap gearboxes, I came up with this, which fitted *perfectly*:

That's a 10mm socket, on a 1/4 to 3/* drive adapter, inside a 15mm socket, all snug fits to the splines and the input shaft bearing, with very little wobble.
Here's the adapter from inside the 15mm socket:

Clutch is bolted up, gearbox is next job, I had to give it a blow over from dust accumulation:

That's Friday's job
