Guys,
While waiting the outcome of the engine, radiator and junction boxes, I acquired the remnants of both the back and seat for the drivers position, enough for good patterns. A local upholsterer/awning fabricator by the name of Jeff Church was able to fabricate some great seats and covers, material came from some old kit bags. Not on my current critical path, but a rewarding detour. Peter 2015-06-19 16.08.34.jpg |

Looks great! When I did my first CMP I was fortunate enought to find a lady who actually worked for aplace during the war that made seat covers...

Hi Peter, Nice seat covering. Is that the actual Lynx seat? My seat does not have those rails under it as in your photo as it has the seat raising mechanism. I will put up a photo for comparison tonight when I get home.
Keep up the good work. Regards Rick.

Peter, here are a couple of photos of a Lynx I Mk.III* drivers seat I borrowed for a copy. Mine was a bit worse for wear as you will see on my restoration thread.

Rick,
I'm attaching a picture of what I started with regarding the seats. Only one half of the drivers base pan was left. The observers/gunners seat is even worse. You are correct, the rails under the seat are not correct to the Lynx and they will be removed once I have the scissor-lift type base repaired or replaced. The rest of the seat is correct. I'm deliberately deferring the observers seat until the Lynx is actually running. I'm quite enjoying your "walk down memory lane", about your Lynx restoration. Must admit that I am glad that the Mark 11 reverted to a conventional system for brakes, accelerator and clutch. Peter 2014-03-15 12.16.24 (2).jpg |

Thanks Peter, I am enjoying my reminiscing about the restoration of my Lynx. The biggest problem is finding the photos, resizing them and only being able to put 5 up each post.
You will probably have yours finished before mine as ill health has stalled things for the last 18 months. Mine is about 1 week from finished but I haven't touched it since May 2014. We will get there. Regards Rick.
