Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Grant Bowker]

After looking in both the parts and maintenance manuals, I agree with Jordan. I didn't find reference to an axle or sub lamp, a switch for it or a bracket to mount it on. The lamp and wiring are filed with electrical in the F15A parts list but I also looked in the frame, hull, instrumentation and rear axle sections in case they were filed differently on the Lynx. That said, it is always possible I missed the relevant items.
Is there by any chance a part number stamped on the bracket? If so, I can try again.

maybe that is a plug in socket for a trouble light?

Grant,

I can think of at least four Lynx/Ford manuals that have had quite the workout (yours, Jordan's, Rick's and mine). There is no part number on the bracket and it is of an unusually heavy gauge - 3/16". I am now of the mind that this was a post war add on.

Harry,

The remnants are very similar, again not a logical fit for this location.

Thanks, Peter

Peter, was there any remnants of white paint on the dif?

[Harry Moon]

The maintenance manual points out both a dash lamp in figure 1 and a trouble lamp socket. Does anybody know of the location of the trouble lamp socket?

[Peter Duggan]

Bruce,

There was strong evidence that the LH side of the diff was painted white, couldn't determine if the RH half was painted (badly weathered). Since the diff is biased to the right, the LH side of the diff is close to the center line of the Lynx. The question that I can't answer is when it was applied.


Harry,

The trouble light socket on the Lynx 11 is on the lower LHS of the instrument panel. Mine is currently empty and I seriously doubt that I will ever install a plug in for the windshield defroster plug. (top socket hole of the LH side of the instrument panel). The "Light-Instrument Panel" is just above the speedometer.

Peter

the illustrations I have are different but I'll look at the side of my dash tomorrow.
