Hi Nick,
There at least 4 lengths of splines, a 1mm cutting disc will safely remove 1/8" and reduce it suitably, if you have the longest.
Some modern clutch linings are thicker than original, these can prevent the clutch opening fully, spacing out the cover plate with suitable washers will overcome the issue.
Some flywheel nut lock washers are too wide and hold up the centre plate, inside the dome, they can be trimmed using a sharp chisel.
A7 gearboxes should use SAE30 or 20/50, anything thicker is not really suitable, in my experience.
Hope this helps find a solution.
