I can't help you with any of those measurements per se, but I can tell you
that Triumph changed not only the clutch disc and pressure plate, but also
the throwout bearing, the throwout arm and even the slave cylinder at the
same time. Probably all you really need to do is to procure the correct
throwout arm (from any Mk2, M3 or even MkIV or early 1500 three-rail
gearbox).
