I did once have a lightened flywheel that the ring-gear was fouling on a part of the Clutch Housing.
I just ground a taper on the ring gear with that one and that resolved that issue.
They started fitting the Rod Shift Gearboxes to these engines way before the Verto Clutches, since 1973 in fact. The Verto wasn't introduced to the Engines fitted to the Mini until 1982and this was about 4 years after the introduction of the A+ Type Gearbox. I don't see that it's an early flywheel / clutch set up as being the issue, however, if it's an early 1300 type flywheel, that maybe the issue.
Are you able to put up photos of your flywheel (both sides) and the backing plate? Also, what type of clutch plate are you fitting up? A few pics of the clutch housing might also be helpful.

I can definitely post up some pictures when I get home from work tonight. I am wondering the same about the early 1300 flywheel which I am 90% sure it is, in fact, one of those.
