Just buy an aussie 3 or 4spd from a swap meet for $20 and pull the input shaft out, takes a few minutes. Best clutch aligning tool you'll ever get for an aussie box!

The other bush mechanics method that works is get a piece of wood or steel that fits into the spigot bearing then rap electrical tape around it until it get to the size of the clutch plate splines slip it into the spigot slip on the clutch plate and tighten up the pressure plate
Yep, I've got a few different input shafts that I've used before. I've also got a clutch alignment kit with a selection of different sized tools.
Doing it from below was (now I'm reconsidering it!) the way I was going to do it. I have a hoist, so maybe I should pull the motor as well and do a spruce up of the engine bay while it's out. It's not like I'm in any hurry, but once I get the motor out I may get carried away with the detailing and then I'll have to paint the body and..... well, you all know where it goes from there.
Thanks for all the useful tips everyone.
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
