Dirk Leegwater's site lists a two spoke wheel for the Lynx?

Default Steering wheels

Guys, Thanks for all the feedback about the steering wheel. I'm starting to think that the Lynx 1 had a two spoke wheel and the Lynx 11 had a three spoke wheel. I do appreciate everyone's input, since I want to try and get things right.

Stew, Rob's description of the differences of the drivers and observers seat are correct. I just wish that I had access to a warehouse where I could stumble across an observer's seat. Mine is a total basket case.

Peter

Lynx 1 manual shows two spoke wheel. The lynx mk2 here in Shilo has 3 spoke. I just walked over to it now to confirm.

Marco, is that a twin gun mount of some kind? Almost looks like a .50 HB on the right side with either an air cooled .50 cal or .30 cal to the left with a shorter barrel. Also might be two ammo boxes, one each side of the gun pair. Or, I've been into the wine FAR TOO early this morning!

David,

The gun mount would have been a field invention I guess.
The gun on the right of the photo is the .30Cal M1919A4, the one on the left is a .50 BMG and looks to be the HB version although the photo is not very clear.
