Restoration of Canadian Scout Car Ford Lynx I, Mk.III No.1726

Part of the fun is getting things apart. The hydraulics were not that, not fun. With nine units all connected to the one reservoir there were the hydraulic lines going every where. (see post #15)

There is a clutch pump and slave cylinder, a brake master cylinder and four wheel cylinders, an accelerator pump and a carburettor slave cylinder to be disassembled and re-kitted and or re-sleeved

I was very lucky to have a spare slave cylinder as not all things come apart the way they should.

In June 2013 I took all of the hydraulic items to ‘The Brake Place’, in Berwick. Andy Seymour undertook the refurbishment of the 4 wheel cylinders, the master cylinder, the clutch pump and slave, and the hydraulic accelerator pump. The accelerator slave cylinder was a new old stock item I picked up many years ago at one of the Corowa Swim-In auctions supplied by Alan Newton from SA who was a Lynx owner but did not recognize the slave cylinder. Lucky me.
