Scammell and Fordon WOT2 dashboard


Stefano

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anybody out there has some pictures of the dashboard of a late war Scammell SV/2S. A mate of mine is putting the finishing touches on his Scammell and the instruments look like a hotchpotch to me. The voltage regulator is definitely wrong, and there is some awful plastic conduit for the wiring. Any photos of how it should look would be very welcome. In addition, I would be very interested in seeing how the dashboard of my Fordson WOT2H should be. Mine is the one without the fuel gauge.

Many Thanks,

Stef

Stefano,

 

Has your friend with the Pioneer got a workshop manual? because I was thinking about scanning mine, in which case I could send you a copy as a pdf.

Richard,

No, he hasn't got a workshop manual. A pdf copy would be brilliant and beyond kind! :)

Hi guys,

I appreciate that this is a really old thread, but I've just come across it now whilst trying to solve a mystery. I've recently bought myself a 1945 Pioneer and coulld do with some assistance sorting out electrics. The electrics on it were a horrible bodge and i'm trying to sort out putting something a little more official in there to enable me to go out driving about at least.

Issue I've got is trying to source "an" regulator I don't know what the voltage requirements are for this... As far as i can establish, the starting is 24V and the rest is 12. I have a workshop manual and a maintenance manual, but they're less than helpful on this. Can you guys point me in the right direction? Over ruling question here is, what sort of regulator am I after on the basis that sourcing an original (or even any info on an original) is proving difficult?

Any help would be brilliant, Cheers, Henry

Hi Mk3iain!

Yes, a very good point, apologies, all new to this!

Based just outside of Bath in Somerset. We've got a few Matadors in the family and the Scammell is my first real venture into things outside of the Matadors. I don't have any real pictures yet, whilst I've had the thing a month or so, I've been tidying it up and getting it serviceable. I've attached a few which I have taken.

That matador which we've got running is 1941 and have been to France a few times for the celebrations, and all around the south west to shows. There are 2 more in the dry waiting for resto. I've managed to find some good info on the Pioneer though, contracted 1944 ended up in the BAOR. I'd bought it from a fellah up Guildford way.

No images of the regulator or electrical systems on the Pioneer, although if people need any i'm happy to pop and gab some.
