It is interesting that two people doing the same job without any communication end up with the same arrangement, in this case Ivan's engine stand is the same as mine, a couple of joist offcuts from a skip with two 3" x 2" cross members. Mine has the addition of some supermarket trolley castors so I can wheel the engine from the cellar workshop to the garage.

Great minds think alike. Actually I believe I have heard of a single word to describe this phenomenon, but can't remember it!

Well, the clutch is all back together with its little flattened rollers, in the car and the car running again. Clutch works and feels like any other clutch in a modern car - nothing out of the ordinary about it at all. Guess that counts as a success.
Thanks for the replies, and special thanks to the contributor to "Design for Competition", Dick Short. See page 127 of the aforementioned book
