I am trying to refurbish a CAV control box for an AEC Matador, I'd like to replace the non-original starter button with a CAV type  108 push switch but I can't find any for sale apart from an ancient link on a vintage tractor forum. Does anyone have any good ideas about where to look as I have drawn a blank on the usual online sources?

Thank you, PM sent

Listerj123:

The Matador was supplied to the RAF in 1943, then went to a bus company in Glasgow for recovery work and finally ended up (via a Scottish museum) near Hereford

The Bus Recovery body is very ugly and in terrible condition so I'm slowly dismantling it.

I'm keeping all the sign-written sheetmetal, It all needs stripping off as the framework is all rotten, broken or missing. I'll probably put a lot of it back, at least at the rear because I like the cabin/workshop area, but I don't like the deep side-skirts and the flat front.

It looks too much like a fire engine!
