needing said:To hold the clutch centre firmly, I had a lock tab washer and nut and the clutch would rock even when correctly tightened.
I made a washer to fit between the lock tab and the nut to spread the load to the clutch centre rather than just deform the centre of the lock tab washer.
I have since discovered that later Nortons came with a washer fitted to do the same. It is NORTON COMMANDO CLUTCH CENTRE NUT WASHER OEM 06-3447 (re: Andover model & part search). You may already have this washer fitted but if not it will improve the clamping pressure applied to the clutch centre.
I am trying to source a G8 flanged nut to replace my handmade washer and nut anyway. Will let you all know when successful.
And then cut square while tightened on the main shaft they will be used on .

If you have a lathe , you can make them .
I made a couple out of titanium :
And then cut square while tightened on the main shaft they will be used on .
The flange does not bear on the raised part of the clutch centre , but further out . ( if yo see wat I mean ..)
Titanium is 'springy' enough , so no tab washer needed :
If you want to limit clutch wobble , the clutch centre must run absolutely true to begin with .
