Ive finally after 2 months of doing bits and pieces put a new clutch kit in. My biggest fear was reconnection of the hydraulics. In hindsight I should have removed the radiator as suggested by Kitch. I removed it for the hydraulics and gearbox reinstall and it certainly made the job easier.
A big thank you to all the who offered advice and positive comments. Gave the hydraulics a work out and all is good with no leaks. The system keeps ride height maintained for a few hours after engine shutdown. So all is good.
