I still could try using only 3 bearings instead of 4 leaving plenty of space to shim the clutch bell. Will try this first and see how it goes. It has to be said, the 4 bearing clutch bell has virtually no radial play and feels smooth as a whistle.

You can also try the Serpent clutch crankshaft extension part from the 3.0 GT clutch which will make the crankshaft effectively longer so you may then be able to fit the crankcase cap?
