Default Trouble light socket

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?

Default Diff paint and trouble light

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

Default Another puzzle

Guys,

There are two heavy duty (1/2") eye bolts on the sides of the hull and while I can find them on illustrations in the maintenance and parts manuals, there is no part number for them. My question is - what purpose do they serve ? My old LH slanted bin also has a lighter eye bolt on the front side and I have photographic evidence of two additional eye bolts of the front storage bin. Again, does anyone out there know what purpose these eye bolts serve ?

Thanks, Peter

This is a guess, not founded on any evidence - to provide securing points for lashing a tarp?

My first thought was lashing points but why not just weld a loop on instead. The fact that they are adjustable might suggest that fixed length metal hooks latch into them and they must be positioned just right to serve their purpose.
