RE: ZXX engine interference
Good job so far Jster, Caution is a good avenue to take. I was going through some of my paper work that came with the piles of parts I've used rebuilding these Shuttles. Found a blurb about the gap between the lining and the clutch being 0.5mm. Of course yours is obviously a bit on the tight side and you may want to sand it down a bit more but I'm sure it will wear in over time.
Looks like you are on your way. Post some pics if you get a chance!
