Do your test fit without the radiator, so you do not damage it, and yes the clutch rod has a couple of kinks in it.
Once you have done the test fit at the diff coupling, install rad. and you should be good to go for the final fitting.
Other thing to note is the fuel tank straps on the top of the engine do not protrude too far toward the engine, as when you
come to fit the engine cover, they should clear by 5mm or so, ie. they should be flush or just short of the outside face of the little guide tabs
that are on the engine rails. You will realise the meaning to this when you fit your engine cover!
