"but potential damage to the clutch engine casing on the
left is still bugging me"
Errr-Uncle Dunnie-the clutch is on the right mate-if yours is on the left I think you may have your handlebars fitted to the wrong end of the bike..............
By the way, most track crashes are on the right hand side since virtually all tracks are right handed. I have had to replace the right hand clipon and front brake lever 4 times-never the left hand one. This was confirmed by Dennis Trollope who I get my TZ bits from-he sell loads of right hand bars and very few left hand.
