Re: Thermostat gasket type for SP250

Daimler in their wisdom managed to standardise 1 thing. Fortunately it was the thermostat gasket.
I wish they had standardised more things.

Daimler DJ254 swan neck thermostat elbow

I have just had a small run of 6 thermostat elbows cast for the DJ254 new drophead.
This is likely to be the last batch due to the small number of cars requiring them.
They can be purchased direct or through eBay.

Re: Obsolete parts.

Thanks for the suggestions, a good starting point and also good to know more about the rubber parts. A couple of thoughts from the suggestions The Conquest Century parts might be achievable in a 3D printed form.

Re: Db18 water pump parts

The big question is which DB18 pump? There are a number of different arrangements of internals for pre and post war DB18 and even the Consort has 2 different seal arrangements.
