748 Clutch accident damage......

A recent encounter with some diesel on a mini roundabout saw me and my beautiful shiney 748 sliding down the road, damaging all the usual stuff for a rhs slide (my ego, my pride and joy, my will to live etc)....and the clutch.

This is my first ducati, so please excuse my ignorance:

The dealers say that the springs, drum and back plate will need replacing, and possibly the plates as well(???). Though they also said that they are estimating the damage by replacing anything that looks even remotely damaged with new parts, but this wont be an insurance claim. Ill be footing the bill, and would prefer to do as much of the work myself as possible anyway (any tips on where to source fairings/parts most welcome).

Also what is the usual nature of the damage to a backplate, and the problem this causes and will this be better of replaced as a matter of course?

Is the clutch easy work on/ replace??-
I'm farily competant with tools, just new to ducati's, and will I need any special tools??

Even better is there anyone out there with a standard clutch/parts just hanging around looking for a good home????

If so give me a ring.
Im near Croydon/ Crystal Palace.
