Well interim report. I spent another hour sanding the clutch inner basket with some sandpaper over a file to remove the small dig marks. No freeplay in basket, checked springs against each other & apart from a false start they seemed to be pretty equal to each other when squeezed against each other in the vice. (you had to get them horizontal or one would bend & distort). Free length was equal.
So does it work? Well bench testing is positive. In Gear it will hold the centre still while spinning the outer basket if I have the clutch in, meaning it seems free enough to kick it & there is sod all drag. However to see this you may have guessed this is without the cover. So I'll try it with some oil & warm in weekend if weather ok.
