Back on the road again
Well, long story short, I had an engineer fabricate up a new clutch release plate a couple of mm thicker than the original (on diesel pig's advice, thanks DP). It's now back on the bike with no trouble at all.
Also, turned out that the bearing the pushrod pushes was worn out - replaced that and after the new gasket turned up yesterday I stuck it all back together and it's working better than ever.
