David Beales web site sells everything you need like the required gaskets.
Come back here if need any more info.

DAMLER DB18

There is a nice DB18 coming up soon I believe on Bangers and Cash, I have no details as just popped up on the net. Very rare to see one on TV.
I will do more research to see when on.

Re: Db18 consort/ ss master cylinder
