pc1959 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc1959 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc1959 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
