Yes, that was one of my thoughts but I did actually take a lot of time over setting it up correctly.
The replacement clutch plate had been fitted with riveted in plugs in the bottom of the toggle slots to eliminate wear but these were far too proud of the original (unworn) slot depth so I progressively filed them down until all the toggle levers were the same height relative to the "bell housing". I think it was 5/16" from memory.
When operated the clutch actually feels OK and although I've not really driven it so far the gears engage fine.
The issue is when the clutch isn't depressed and the pedal vibrates and rattles quite noticeably. In this situation I presume the clutch pedal spring is just applying light pressure to the thrust race to hold it against the toggles.
Frustratingly the only option seems to be to take the engine and gearbox out again but I'm not really sure what to look for. If the toggle levers are OK, as I believe, the only other think I suppose would be the thrust race but then it was OK before I changed the clutch.
