Thanks for the help guys good to know you got a place to get some info
Glad you Identified the problem and glad to be a help.
A new clutch bell and bearings will get you back up and running in no time.
I wouldnt risk re'using the older bell as it could be reamed out and the bearing will just slop around in there and you'd probably end up with the same problem happening again...
All the best..
