Time to start looking for a concentric slave cylinder?

The clutch fork will move backwards as the clutch disc wears, ideally move the engine forward at least 15mm.

Definitely an oh f**k moment, but a concentric cylinder would probably be easier than shifting the engine forwards.
Its the sort of thing we've all done, my moment was welding a set of throttle body runners on the wrong side of the flange.

Look on the bright side - it'll probably improve your weight distribution a tad!

Clutch arm
Cut back 90% of the sub-flange on the arm so it clear the rear frame tube. Then plate the front side of the lever with solid 3/8" flat stock
along with a relief hole in the flat stock for the slave push rod. Dave W

Bit of work done today
Engine and box removed again
All three mounts cut off
Engine and box back in again
Sitting a lot better now and a bit lower so that will help with the body work
Just need to tackle engine mounts in and make a new gearbox mount
