Default Home sweet home

Guys,

Just made a major milestone, the Lynx now has an engine. Great feeling to finally have an engine back in. It was back on the 4th of April 14 that I pulled the original 239.
Adam McConnell, our local mechanic, came to make sure that it went in pointed the right way. Slipped into place without a whimper.
Feels as if I've finally turned the corner with the restoration. Dave Good also ran up the engine and when I figure out how to do it I will post his video of the engine run. It certainly sounded sweet.
It's been quite an enjoyable task with lots more in the way of challenges and rewards.

Peter

Well done Peter! Congratulations on the "marriage" of the engine and hull/chassis.

Please keep the updates coming.

Alex

Default Lynx Stowage & Lubrication diagrams

Rick, and Peter,

The stowage and lubrication diagrams (one of each) are about 24 x 36 inches each in size and come from the pockets at each end of the Lynx maintenance manual. The local Staples store can copy that size. Cost is $6USD each.

If folded as per original, the postage to Australia (large envelope - standard mail not trackable) would be about $10USD. Have not checked re postage cost to Canada. Rolled would be more expensive and requires the cost of a postage tube as well.

If either or both of you wish to proceed (or anyone else for that matter), PM or email or contact me via the contact page on my website at www.michaelkcecil.com

Mike

Just a thought, PDF file on a thumb drive or a CD is pretty inexpensive to make and send and have repro'd on the receiving end...
I just did this with a couple M274 Mule manuals which I had scanned.

Finding a scanner that will take a 33 x 22 sheet is the problem: I found a copier locally, hence the offer to copy & send.

Note: these are Lynx Mk3/Mk3* diagrams, not Lynx Mk2.
