Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

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

These hinged dash lamps were also used in Canadian carriers and as interior lights in Ram tanks.

Guys,

All of the original data and information plates were missing off my Lynx and I'm attempting to have some reproductions made. Rick Cove provided me with some good pictures of the missing plates. I'm looking for the dimensions of these two plates. Rob Love confirmed that the plates are missing off the Shilo Lynx and I noted that the CWM Lynx is missing the gear shift information plate as well. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Peter

A nice project Peter that may be expensive.
The plates are galvanized I believe and are reverse stamped from the backside.
They may be cost prohibitive as each one is unique due to having to change the setup for each serial number.
The shift plate looks similar to CMP shift plates, I may be wrong on that but maybe LWD in Holland may have some.

I bet this is perfect job for one of those new 3-D printers. They can now do metal as well as various plastics.

A reasonably priced option for the plates with printed text would be to get sublimated plates made up. I've used these on some of the picture framing that I've done where colour was needed rather than engraved letters on a brass plate. The letters/graphics are printed on the plate rather than engraved. There is usually a choice of plate material such as aluminum or brass in various finishes. Just need to create the artwork, save it as a PDF or JPEG and find an engraver/trophy shop that has or has access to this equipment.
Cheers, Terry.

The Shilo Lynx had all the data plate on when it went west
What a shame!

Here you go Peter. Hope this helps. The 'ID' plate has been trimmed unfortunately but not by much.

Rick,

Thank you. This is precisely what I was looking for.

Rob and Stew,

I wish to apologize for the confusion that I have created. I mistakenly used the term Data plate and Information plate, when I meant to refer to the Instruction plate with gear shift pattern and more. My fault alone.

Guys,

Mocked up the radiator to figure out the shrouding and splash shield. These were fabricated out of light gauge metal and were badly rusted out. Was able to make templates and sketches, now to have them fabricated. The radiator splash shield may be a bit more challenging. Also got the radiator armour sandblasted and epoxy primed. Installation is just temporary and will have to be removed but it is coming together.

This was mine Peter, a bit better than yours thankfully.

The wavy bit should be straight, and the bowl pivots one one side and clips under at the other.
