Title: Series 2 Bagheera Switches
Post by: bert1 on February 13, 2013, 01:18:29 pm
Looking for a Hazard Flasher switch for my 1977 Series 2.
(http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy26/moqueque/New%20Matra%20Bagheera/DSC04312.jpg)
The one with the triangle on it.
The one in my car has dis-integrated and will be required for roadworthy checking. My first preference would be NOS, although if it works that will get me out of trouble. I'd be happy to consider a complete set if someone would prefer not to spit a set they have - I get that. Failing anyone having one - if someone could tell me what car Matra pinched the switch out of that might present a new avenue to search!
Many thanks in advance!

These are worth a look!

You would need to check dimensions with them. I think I bought some in the past but too long ago to remember sizes.
There may be others I could find if you get no luck.

Thanks Andy. WOW. Fast reply!
I got the cut-out dimensions from another website and they are 44X22 so I'll have to go down and measure but I'd say we are a good chance! This will certainly get me out of trouble - ultimately though I'd love an original one if you have any ideas?

I have a dodgy one myself! But I have a kindly MoT tester too. He understands the needs of competition cars too! I have to switch on the left hand indicators and then operate the haz lights switch and they all work (enough!)
Do you get the Matra Enthusiast's Club UK magazine? There is a list of suppliers both UK and Europe in there.
