Default Lynx mk 11, hull # 4225

Hi Peter,

It looks like another great restoration in progress. Very interesting.

Going back a few pages on your restoration thread, I am curious about the method used to weld the hull back together. I noted Chris's early comments about the type of rod to use and the question of sandblasting.

What did your welder do and use in the end? It looks like he did a fine job whatever he did.

Did the hull have to be shimmed/packed at all to allow for the cut that was made in the demilitarising?

Was a backing plate required when he was welding?

Thanks.
