Gone to put the sump back on and I dont recall taking dowels off and I have none I can see in the vast mass of parts from a total rebuild.
Did you sump have dowels ? If so they do not feature on any of the parts websites.

Many thanks

Some have got 'em, some haven't.
Heard that TVR used to shove the sump back a bit to avoid scavenge pump chain rattle :O
I made some new dowels and made a proper chain tensioner
