Default Lynx Differential

I probably went off on a tangent talking about axles....too much covid lockdown! , I guess if you were talking differentials, there were 3 types for the Lynx, serial 0 to 201 was a 5.83 ratio with 14 &7/8" across the width of the flange housing , serial 201 to 3000 is 5.83ratio and is 12&1/4" across the width of the flange housing, from serial number 3000 the ratio is 6.66 and is 14 &7/8" across the flange housing. This last diff is basically looks like the same
dimensions as the standard Ford 3 ton axle, similar to Bren Carriers, except they use C8A backing plates and the axles are different lengths., Cheers A.

Default Chore horse

Well this COVID business is a bind. I cannot get to my Lynx nor can I collect the chore horse I bought recently, because of the lock down.
However, I am puzzled.
It is my understanding that the Lynx I carried a chore horse because the dynamo was not up to keeping the battery topped up when the Mk19 set was being used. This explains the uprated dynamo fitted to the Lynx II (and the two speed dynamo fitted to the Dingo).
My question is: where should the chore horse be stowed? The stowage diagram does not mention it and I have not found any Footman loops or otherwise to give me a clue.
Thanks
Alastair
