Default Plate

Lance, I was pleasantly surprised when I first approached my local printer/engraver. With a scanner and computer controlled engraving it turned out quite well and was very inexpensive.

Default Australian Influence

Guys,

MLU membership has made my restoration much easier, I just didn't recognize how far and wide the MLU extends in this internet age.

Rick Cove has assisted me tremendously with information and advice. In addition Gina Vampire had generously provided me with some paint samples of the interior.

After many months of procrastinating, I stripped out the crew compartment and painted it.

Makes a dramatic difference. Summer activities are now having a significant impact on my garage time, but it's a great motivator to look into the crew compartment and recognize how far it has actually come.

Peter

Default Great thread

Your local engraver did an excellent job with the capacities and shift plate.. I've yet to see a reproduction here which is worth having.

Default Looking for help

Guys,

Had a great visit with my grandson, Chase from Ft McMurray. We made a trip to Ottawa and the CWM to visit their Lynx and firm up some details and get measurements for various bits and pieces. I certainly appreciate their policy of allowing me access to their Lynx. One disappointment was that their "radiator splash plate" is missing, and no visible method of securing the lower oil cooler brackets. Any help would be appreciated.
I am also looking for a good picture of a data plate for a Ford Lynx 11. I do have a good one of the Publication plate.

Thanks, Peter
