Actually they are milled aluminum using a CNC router.

Default Workmanship

Markus,

Thanks for clarifying the process.

David,

I can attest to the quality of the plates. While the back side is flat and unfinished the front is exceptional and personalized with all the correct information.

Peter

Thanks for the clarification. They are a beautiful piece of work Markus. I was just confused by the reference to 3D printing ! ..... Actually I am confused by lots of things these days !

Default Engine update

Guys,

I was very fortunate when Dave Good agreed to undertake the rebuild of the 239 engine that my friend Doug Lavoie had tracked down for me. The attached pictures will show why I feel so good.

Default Totally biased

Guys,

While I do not have the talents or skills to perform tasks such as rebuilding the engine for my Lynx, I pride myself for being able to persuade Dave Good to undertake this task. The attached pictures speak for themselves.

Default Another learning curve

Guys,

Due to an unplanned opportunity I now have most of a Wireless set No. 19 Mk 111 Canadian for my Lynx.

My knowledge of radios is even less than my limited electrical knowledge. So I took a similar approach to my wiring fabrication and built a plywood mock up of the rear of the crew compartment. Much easier than trying figure it out inside the Lynx.

I am now looking for a good copy of "Installation Instructions for Wireless Set No.19 Canadian in Armoured Scout Car (Ford-Canadian Lynx). PC 76471C-192, Jul. 1942. Any help or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks, Peter
