Steve...I really think that any kind of grabbing is due to a warped
intermediate plate. The clutch plates are too think.

By the way...where are you located?

Ian,
when I went back over my info from re-clutching the Eldo I find that I
used the bonded which were what MG recommended, their reasoning was that it
was less likely to separate than the riveted and since I had the 2mm splines
which transferred more shock to the plates bonded was probably better for
me. I have only managed to drive it 3 blocks so far and push it home
but the clutch didn't grab :) I should have it on the road soon and will
report if any problems develop.
