A quick update and hopefully postscript, after discovering an oil weep where the chain had crushed the side casing in and off the facing with the main crankcase, I had it welded and dressed, this of course compromised the casing finish.
After thorough cleaning I gave it 4 coats of Techniq caliper paint (eBay) in Audi Thunder Grey.
Now reassembled with new clutch push rod "O" rings and gear selector shaft oil seal, it is oil tight and looking "as new". There was a little collateral damage to the 6mm fixing points for the sprocket cover, but they were salvageable with a tapered 6mm tap.
I have still to fit my crankcase protector, hopefully ,that's a job for the next set weekend.....until then, it's time to get some riding in!
Thanks to everyone for ideas and suggestions and in particular Vince for his help and generous loan of puller.
