Or re-bolt the clutch pressure plate 90 degrees around and place the undamaged teeth in the usual stopping place

If only it was that simple with worn teeth on the later flywheel. Intersting to read that you can build up the teeth with weld. Just a month too late for my flywheel. An old article in impractical mechanic magazine (or some such publication) suggested drilling and tapping to insert bolts, then filing them to shape. Didn't fancy that much! I went for a flywheel with a new ring gear and an hour of lapping to remove the wobble.
Does anyone have experience of the longevity of the welded denture approach?

Wouldn't have suggested it if I hadn't actually done it
I restored my '31 tourer in '79-80 and along with my '32 Special, it was my daily driver till 1987. So the welded tooth repair on its clutch cover ring gear lasted that long without any problems.
To check the tooth form as I was filing the "new" teeth to shape I made up a sort of comb device that had a number of teeth in negative, this was traced off a a good section of the ring gear and used to compare shape/height as I worked.
