Wanted: Lynx fuel tanks

[Peter Duggan]

Looking for both RH and LH fuel tanks for a Lynx. Also looking for armoured covers. Any possible leads would be welcome.

[Robin Craig]

Can you clarify what vehicle the "Lynx" you describe is as there are at least two vehicles I know of as a lynx that are not the same

Lynx scout car WW II, pretty sure uses the CMP fuel tanks , which will presumably be of the Ford manufacture with a short spout coming from the top , will be R/H and L / H . There should be heaps of these in Canada.

Robin, a quick search of peter's name will show you that it refers to the original Canadian Lynx.

Folks,

Thanks for clarifying my request. The vehicle is a Ford Scout Car, know as the Lynx, mk 11. The hull number is 4225, with a date of manufacture of Nov, 44. Any assistance in tracking down these parts would be greatly appreciated.

Peter,
I found an almost new lynx fuel tank when I recovered the remains of 1726. It wasn't until I went to fit it I realized that I had two left tanks and no right. I soon converted a left to a right and this is the result.

It will give you and anyone looking at this thread, the style and shape of a Lynx fuel tank.

I also used POR15 tank sealer in both tanks just to be sure. I also had to modify the drain position in the fuel tank armour as well as the tank drain point was now in the wrong place for the original drain.

Regards Rick.
