I do enjoy some of the words that England has coloured our language with, and "fettling" is one of them.
Jim,
Thanks for the heads up regarding the Ferret possibility. I have access to one locally. If I can source some solid handles, I think the rest of the assembly would not be too hard to recreate. My receivers are 5/8"NF.
Guys,
Chris Jones, the owner of the local garage that we use, has parked the Lynx in the back end of his shop. When he has time between regular customers he is "fettling" the Lynx. The engine runs, but he has been chasing leaks (my work on fuel and brake lines) and repairing 70 year old NOS parts (electric fuel pumps, starter switch, circuit breaker and more). Hopefully the drive train won't be too far down the road. Fortunately for me, Chris is an individual who enjoys challenges.
Peter
