Hi this was Terry's "Siegfried Farnon " car.

The Wipac bypass oil filters (they were fitted to 1950 Rover75 -cyclops) are very difficult to find. Similar but smaller filters (ACzr1) were fitted to some Austin cars.

Have you spoken to the supplier? If memory serves, 1936 cars had a pressure plate with 4 fingers. If the new clutch has 3 fingers, some modifications may be needed. I haven't come across the shims advice before.
