Rick,
The METGAS electric crane was wartime. It was the use made of the chassis after the Rhino HAC project folded. The street sweepers were a post-war civilian use. See the Rhino chapter in my AMEP Volume 3: 'Aust Scout and Armd cars' for details. Mike C |

So to bring this conversation back to the Lynx, I am working on one located here in the Shilo museum. While replacing all the hydraulics for the brake system, I noted that the brake tubes are all copper. Has anyone seen this on other Lynx? I think this vehicle came from Greece at one time. Perhaps a previous owner did not do the lines properly. They were also only single flared, vice the double flaring which is standard on any brake system I have seen.
Vehicle is now all steel for the brake tubing. Just waiting for the last of the hydraulic parts before re-assembling the wheels. Last edited by rob love; 28-03-12 at 01:47. |

Regards Rick. Rob, My brake hydraulic lines were all steel. (Badly rusted so will have to replace.) Regards Rick.

Thanks Rick, I was pretty sure they would be. Even back then, they seemed to have similar standards as we do today with regard to the tubing used.

The routing of the electrics to the instrument board is also completely different to the Lynx I (Mk.III and Mk.III*). The Lynx I (Mk.III*) had either 2 or three hinges on the rear hatch. I see that they have saved a hinge on this Mk. as well as it only has 2. It would be interesting to see the hull number. That is located on the ID. Plate to the right of the driver below the hatch and repeated on the flat plate in front of the vertical front plate with the hatches in it on the right side. It will also give the month and year of manufacture. On the left opposite side the number is also stamped on the flat plate in a bigger font than the right, but not as clearly or deeply stamped. Regards Rick.
