You could put the chainwheel/clutch assembly on a crank balance wheel to check the runout. The original ball bearing is not side loaded. The nut has a relief so it only loads on the lift plate. If the clutch cable casing moves it is loosing travel. 7303 angular contact bearing. The Belleville spring rolls on the rib, does not need lube. Use MSO2 dry lube on splines and tabs. Use P80 rubber lube on cushions. New cushions are larger on the drive side and smaller on the rebound.
I was always taught that we should tighten the screws in a cross pattern, where your second bolt is diagonally opposite the first, then back and forth as you work your way around. I guess that’s not so important with only tightening each bolt one turn at a time?
Well the guy that my father was helping years ago at the Triumph dealership showed and taught him the same way that we did this clutch, he had told him it was best way not to warp anything taking it apart or putting it back together when it came to clutches like these.

If you buy a '74' Trident make sure the clutch has been gone over.
