I've got a horrible feeling the oil pump gasket needs the backing peeling off - any idea on this James?

Reverse idler pressed into centre plate.
Oil splash guard fitted.
Both bearings pressed onto the layshaft.
Checked preload with both of the shims from the 2 boxes I have to hand and there's no end float at all, medium drag - looks like I need some more shims.

Centre bearing pressed onto mainshaft.
Pinion, pinion bearing track, 4/3 baulk ring, mainshaft, centre bearing track & shim assembled into casing ready for DTI'ing.
Doesn't appear to be any endfloat, but there's no drag on the bearings at all.

I think I need to recheck the bearings on the layshaft to make sure they're fully pressed on - no reason to think not, but can't imagine the bearing tracks are massively different (although as already said the layshaft front bearing doesn't have the spring retainer on).

Layshaft shim that's too thick is measuring up at ~1.6mm thick, not sure how much trust to put into my Chinese digital calliper though.

you can get 1.45,1.5 ,1.55 smaller than your 1.6,1.6 is 5 thou bigger than 1.45 which is enough to make rotation very stiff
