Andrew,
Thanks for sharing your experience. The Lynx at the War museum, in Ottawa also has the NDT 9:00 by 16s, which look quite good, but I would like to replicate the chevron pattern on the originals, if possible. Charles, Looks right, but I am looking for the female connectors that mount to the terminal strip, not the male portion. Thanks, Peter

I am also going through the tire dilemma on the museum's Lynx. If you can find Ferret tires, they would be the best. You have to skive a fair bit off the inside of the tire, but being that they are super heavy runflats, cutting through the beads cords will not effect the tire. I did it on a much heavier CMP (11,000 lb KL) and A-framed it from Moose Jaw to Winnipeg a couple times without issue.
The US non directionals are a pretty good second choice. The STA 10.50-16s may give it a bit of a dune buggy look. Our Lynx is currently on LSVW Michelen tires, which also have that dune buggy look. I recently changed the museum's Dodge M37 over to the Michelen 8.26-16 Michelin radial as used on the G-wagons. They look great, but they do end up measuring slightly smaller in diameter and width. Of course, they lack the Chevron look.

Eureka moment
After searching automotive parts shops on several continents for the missing connectors without any luck I decided to try out Minakers scrapyard which is just down the road from me. Randy, the current owner, went into the "inner sanctum" and in short order came out with some switches of an unknown origin, with the right connectors. Had to sacrifice the switches, but now have the right connectors. Nice to be able to rebuild the junction boxes and remain faithful to the original design.

Still kicking
Guys,
Between a trip out west and spring time projects, not much progress. As a matter of fact while I was gone the engine slipped in the queue. Hopefully this month... The radiator is now gone out for rebuild. On the plus side I got the fuel tanks back and a slow but steady arrival of more parts. Garage time is still prime time. Peter 2015-05-03 19.59.10 (2).jpg
