Well, it is all back together, with some challenges! I had some LCR class Y 250VAC caps in stock (these are the type that you fit from live and neutral to earth whereas class X fit between live and neutral) which were suitable to fit in the tight space behind the switch. Using heatshrink and lengths of stiff tinned copper wire, I was able to craft two capacitor modules that were not dissimilar to the original types. On test the drill passed PAT and with an AM radio next to it whilst running there was no interference.
