To be able to re-machine parts in a mill that were once made by skilled craftsman completely by hand, designed on paper with a pencil.....this really is the reason I get involved in these type of projects! And for owners like Peter, who have a passion for their vehicles and a desire the return them to the way they were in service. Many days are spent diagnosing modern electronics and engineering/design flaws today, we as an industry have lost our way IMO. Simplicity, functionality and serviceability from this era of the Lynx and other MV's. 40 years from now, no one will be repairing the shifter in a Honda accord or Kia SUV......
