I'm starting to recognize that the most rewarding part of this restoration is the people that you meet and deal with along the way. I had the good fortune (thanks Doug and Rob) to meet Stu Robertson. This gentleman has restored THREE Lynx's, the one that is in the museum in Shilo, Manitoba and two that were exported to collectors in Europe. Not only did he solve my fuel tank quandary, but I walked (staggered) away with a load of NOS parts !! I'm looking forward to the next time that I can meet with Stu and hear more of his CMP stories.
I've attached a picture of the shrinking Lynx and one of the engine block number. Can anyone out there help me decipher the number? I was also able to remove and label all the electrical looms without cutting a single wire.
