Zero-Five-Two Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Can anyone help me out with a Wiper Switch/Air Valve for the old Tanker? Little brass gadget in the photo with the circle round it. As you can see this one has seen better days, apart from the top being missing, the whole thing is corroded beyond redemption. Ta for looking and many thanks in advance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just a thought - is it the same as used on the Stalwart's air-operated wipers? If so try a call to Bannisters to see if he has one in his stocks or Nick Mead who had half a dozen being cannibalized for spares last I was there.

marvinthemartian Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Same as Martian and possibly Scammell Explorer. FV159964. Sure I've got a spare somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thanks for the replies, Gents, I think they were a standard part for anything built around that time that had the Tipco air powered wipers. Part Number in my Militant book is LV6\MT3 86977 If you have one Simon that would be great, otherwise I'll follow Neils advice and give Banisters a call. I'm not familiar with Nick Mead, I assume he is a breaker of various green things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Cap and valve arrived yesterday, Many thanks Simon. All I need now, is for it to stop raining so I can get them fitted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
