S2C Cutaway 2.25 Petrol Engine resurrection

[diffwhine]

Thanks to JonB, we now have the correct modified front cover and a whole load of other useful bits which I'm busy painting and getting ready to fit.
While going to the Club outing to Exmoor Trim yesterday, I stopped off at the Distributor Doctor in Wiveliscombe and collected the Club's refurbished distributor. Having given Martin what was essentially a piece of scrap, he has turned it into a fully functional DM2 distributor. Far more than I expected, but it is really the only fully functional part part of the whole engine! What a great man and what a great business! Really impressed with the whole operation and will probably post some information about that separately or do an article for B2L.

However... I have now gained a new problem! Now that we have the correct early distributor mounting plate for the engine (thank you JonB again), of course I now find that the drive adapter is the wrong one to mate the oil pump to the distributor drive. I need the early one which is p/n 247806. That's item 23 in the image below. I can't find a spare one and would rather not use my own one which is waiting to go into my own engine. Has anybody got a spare one they can throw this way?

A bit of a tumbleweed moment over this distributor drive gear...

Surely somebody has got one rattling about?

If it's a problem getting one to me, maybe the Newbury Sortout is an option?

Aside from my distributor drive issue (we could just buy a new one from Craddocks), we are pretty much there now and almost ready to show it.

That looks amazing, well done to all involved.

Phil, you need to buy a ticket for the NEC (use your club discount) and come down to see it in the flesh.  It is much nicer than your telephone box

That is, quite simply, a thing of beauty.

Never mind the NEC - put it in The Louvre!
