Speedograph Richfield are a pretty good source. It's worth calling them even if your bike isn't listed.

My first port of call would be Vale-Onslow's, Stratford Road, Sparkbrook, Birmingham. Speak to Len Vale-Onslow in the Parts Department. If he hasn't got what you need he'll know where to get it. Or get it made for you.

The gentleman is the font of all knowledge pertaining to motorcycles. Both manufacturers you mention were within a brisk walk of their premises and Vale-Onslow Motors Ltd were agents for both.

The 98cc Villiers powered bike, if memory serves?

I've got an engine unit knocking around somewhere...haven't looked lately.

The Cavalier had the AMC two stroke 175cc engine.

If you need a handbook and parts list I'm sure that I have them in my loft.
