Re: Removing the oil pump/distributor drive shaft

Note the workshop manual gives the specification for the oil pump dimensions. Length of the driving shaft protruding from end of spiral gear should be 11.85" or 300.990 mm
You should be able to check this and move the gear if necessary.

Re: dart disc guard

Interestingly I bought some disc shields from Manners a few years ago - old stock I think. They sent a non-matching pair - ie not mirror images of each other but a completely different right hand one. They managed to find a correct one when I queried.

Re: Wanted - Conquest Century gearbox, preselect

Re: Consort/ss brake set-up

Is the manual on DB18.org not sufficient? https://www.db18.org/manuals - there is one for the Girling and another for the Lockheed set up.
