Crew change
Folks,
Having an enjoyable visit with my American cousin. First lady to climb into the Lynx and try out the ergonomics, including the escape hatch. Much more nimble than I am. Peter 2016-04-01 13.55.00.jpg

I'm encouraged to see women and armour do sometimes agree. My experience so far when I've needed daughter or wife to enter the vehicle for such things as hitting the starter or pumping the hydraulics it hasn't gone well. After the bruising or bleeding was quelled (hey, they ran into the sharp pointy things not me) I had to make it up with chores, flowers or diners.

Guess I'm lucky. My wife thinks my hobby is cool! If it has tracks, goes boom or otherwise she is all for it. She is looking forward to 3 days at Aberdeen MD this year and maybe a trip to the Findlay OH show. I told her they were offering chopper rides there this year on an authentic Vietnam Huey...

Latest and some family history
Folks,
Got some garage time and was able to assemble and wire the instrument panel. I had to use after market toggle switches, so I'm still looking for some NOS Ford toggle switches. Most of the wiring is now complete with the exception of the wiring outside of the hull. I'll have a professional double check my work before powering it up. Also received the Slydlok fuse holder and fuses. Fitted up nicely. Peter 2016-04-09 21.20.00.jpg 2016-04-12 14.45.45.jpg

Excellent work again Peter.
Ford toggle switches recently came up in another thread on the forum. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=25458 Both Dirk Leegwater and Chris (Ferret) offer NOS sections of Ford wiring loom with 2 or 3 toggle switches included. Now, where did you get that nice dash lamp? Apart from the hinging part it looks like the same type used on some cab 11 dashboards. My C8 still has the base of the lamp fitted, but the little shield and switch have long gone. Alex

My question was the same. What is the source of the dash lamp?

Dash light
Alex and Lynn,
Stefan with LWD parts provided the dash light. I was able to salvage my original swinging bracket. The light assembly was labelled as something different. Peter
