Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

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

Hi Peter your pictures help in other areas. Now I know where my odd timing cover is from.

Lynn,

I am glad that some of my pictures have helped. I know that if it wasn't for MLU and it's members that my restoration project would be struggling and no where near as rewarding.

Guys,

I just received the installation manual for the 19 set for the Lynx. An incredible and original document. I must add Colin Alford to the list of MLU members who have made significant contributions to this restoration. It is quite humbling to recognize the amount of support ranging from advice, pictures, components and now manuals.

Thanks to all, Peter

Well Gents I need some input to a problem I came into well setting up Peters engine on my test stand as I am going to run the motor up for a while to make sure there are no problems with it before I ship it out. The problem came when I was going to install belts on the pulleys and noticed that the lower Crank pulley was off quite a bit compared with the water pump pulleys. I removed the lower crank hub pulley to see if I could spot the problem and it wasn't until I compared it with another 2 grove and single grooved pulley that I measured it against that there was 3/8" difference between the other 2 pulleys. Now here is the thing, Peter sent me his water pumps and the lower Crank hub pulley from his engine and he said that it all lined up ?? I installed a single grooved generator and one off a carrier and both lined up with the water pumps. The lower crank hub pulley that is for the Lynx is sort of special as the fan bolts to it not like most of the other setups.

Does anyone have a close picture of a stock Lynx lower crank hub pulley That I could see as I am at wits end trying to figure why its longer than the stock units making it stick out the 3/8" further. I measured the back side of the pulley to the lower timing cover bolt (see pictures) and it comes around .550 but the carrier/CMP double grooved pulley is at .380 which lines up perfect. Also the pulley is fully seated against the lower cam gear.

Colin, don't worry, I am just helping Peter out with the info I have. I don't have the set that you have, just some pages from SC- F1and F2 dated May 43. The set you have looks great and is much more informative than my 6 pages..
Regards Rick.
