Check your spelling and use of English before posting as some of the misunderstandings are down to poor English. (Yes I know I'm quilty of this at times). Some of the English here is shocking!

Anyway back on topic in getting Ginge's slipper clutch sorted as it looked like a handful last weekend.

Classic...
you've got to laugh, given the topic you were writing about..
Ginge,
I don't have a madrat, but I have looked at the manual. There's a diagram showing that when the slipper is assembled, there is an 18mm (Approximate) distance from the outer face of the slipper to the end of the layshaft. (Pg 9 on the copy I have)
Have you checked to see if the protrusion of your layshaft, is infact around this length? If it isn't, then you may be unable to slacken the slipper sufficiently without it all falling to pieces.
Just something for you to check out incase there is a quality issue here with the parts, could easily happen.
Another thing to check, would be that the slipper pads located in the spur are protruding above the moulding of the spur gear, thus ensuring the slipper pads are the only part in contact with the 'Slipper Hubs' as called in the manual.
The slipper is such a simple assembly, it's hard to see how it could be assembled incorrectly hence my two suggestions.
