With reference to Peter's post #791 showing the stowage diagram for the Lynx II, I thought readers might like to see the equivalent for the Lynx I.
The diagram acknowledges that a radio may be fitted (as was the case in all the Lynx I know about) but the diagram shows boxes of bren gun ammunition in its place.

Interesting, Alastair.

The Lynx I setup is probably a direct, or very close to, match for how the Dingo was equipped.

Alastair,

Thanks for posting the stowage diagram for the Lynx 1. My stowage diagram for the Lynx 11 does not have a view of the interior of the front bin. I'm confident that radio equipped Lynx's have a different stowage arrangement but it provides some good hints.

Thanks again, Peter

Guys,

While I am confident that my Lynx was never equipped with a sun compass, the brackets that it mounted on were fitted based on all the evidence that I can find. Mine were missing until Alastair Thomas provided me with some great drawings that Andy used to fabricate them. Now primed and mounted. I've also been making some good progress on assembling on gathering the kit, again thanks to some good friends on MLU.

Guys,

Ever since I had an incident of front wheel shimmy after hitting a bump at speed, I had become uncomfortable on how I had set the front wheel bearings.

With Robin's assistance, I was able to persuade Gerry Foster to visit and reset the front wheel bearings "by the book". Next on my list is to have the wheel assemblies balanced by a heavy truck shop. Now looking forward to this spring's first run.

On a cosmetic note, I was able to source original hose clamps from Early Ford, SC. Took a total of 16, but the engine compartment certainly looks better.

Keep us posted of who/where that will do your wheels........ could not find anyone in the rural area East of Ottawa....even farm tractor tire shops doing truck tires. Most have suggested moving the tires around in different locations and adjusting to lower or higher pressure..... and it did help!!!!
