Sorry me again. I now have new seals fitted in the forks & the brake master cylinder. All seem to be functioning exactly as the doctor ordered. I used the ARI 029 as the outer fork seals they are fine.

Anyway my reason for the new post is the clutch. The lever is not breaking the drive between crank & wheel. So I have removed the chain pulling through a length of string to aid in refitting. then pulled the outer sprocket cover (sprocket atached) in that I seem lucky as the the flat on cover does just about clear the bottom frame tube after a bit of jigging. Then I have removed the clutch access cover. Looking at the clutch pressure plate the three studs that carry the spring retaining collars protrude from the collars by different amounts. one sticks through by 3 to 4mm whereas another is virtually flush, & the one standing clear has clearly been rubbing the inside face of the cover plate.. in fact it rather looks like one of the the collars has been rubbing the edge of the access hole.. The whole plate seems out of square... Is there a way to 'screw in' the collar retaining studs & then squaring up the clutch without removing the engine.

Please help.. Best regards Neil
