Peter,
As Rob mentioned, Ferret tyres are becoming hard to find these days. I know one or two HUP owners looking for them as well. But they do look the part if you can find a set. The chevron tyres are definately a nice alternative and can be seen on Bob's C15A. The big plus is that they are freshly manufactured. Alex Quote:

Major Milestone
Folks,
My good friend Gerald Longbottom, who is a skilled welder showed up for weekend, and it was extremely productive. First the hull was tacked together and measured. The frame was then properly welded together and then placed under the hull. The hull and frame were then bolted together using all the original bolt holes. The remainder of the weekend consisted of fitting and welding. The result is truly impressive, not that I am the least bit biased. After a trip to visit our kids and grandkids, out west, the plan will be to remove the frame and have it sand blasted before priming and painting. All in all it was a spectacular weekend.

Excellent work Peter! So....how do you call this....Re-militarized?
 Great to see the Lynx come back to life. I believe it came from Italy(?). Do you know anything about it's history? regards, Alex

History
Alex,
Thanks, I call it progress. The only history I have on the Lynx is oral. Giorgio, the gentleman in Italy, from whom I purchased the Lynx, is an avid collector of Canadian militaria, from the second world war era, and he purchased it from a scrap dealer in the mid nineties. He was under the impression that it was sold to the Italian army after our troops came home at the end of the war. Apparently it could have also served with the Italian police, before being scrapped in the mid seventies. Peter

History
Great job Peter, The 4th New Zealand armoured Brigade also used the Lynx in Italy.

Pete,
It`s come a long way from when you first found it, brought it over, and started the tear down. Now on the way to the rebuild stage. Keep the heat on! See you in a couple of weeks. Doug Last edited by Doug Lavoie; 10-09-14 at 22:39. Reason: to many words
