Sounds like a backwards approach.
Might as well replace the brake lights and seats so you can check them off the list as well.

How about some detail about your car and the problem you are experiencing.

so...... why did you change out the clutch switch and main relay?
Were they diagnosed as faulty?

Since you can bridge the ignition switch wire and get the starter to crank, the main battery power and ground are obviously good.

Since you replaced the main relay and clutch switch, there isn't much left.
Wires and ignition switch.

Try troubleshooting the ignition switch wire and work backwards.

... or just maybe save some time and get a test light the check the wire before going through the hassle of changing a part that might be perfectly fine.
What if you have a bad wire????
