Wiring
Rick,
Glad to hear that you are back in the shop. Best therapy possible, as long as you pace yourself and don't overdo it. My wiring is in far worse shape than yours. I will have to ultimately replace 100 % of mine. The wiring in the Lynx 11 is colour coded and numbered, which will help. I have been very fortunate to find some NOS segments. Such as the main cabling between the two JBs and some other runs. I would like to first finish the new firewall and I also have to do something about the missing battery tray, before starting into the wiring. Jonathon, You and Doug would be welcome anytime that it suits you. It would also be great to hear how you are progressing on your projects. Peter

Slow but steady
Guys,
Replicated a new firewall. It's an unusual one that consists of two pieces of sheet metal with a plywood inner. Small wonder that the original rusted out. Also tackled the steering wheel. Used a similar one from Macs that had the right dimensions. Once I removed several excess pounds of rubber my machinist swapped out the center hubs. Some more cosmetic touches and it will be identical to an NOS wheel. Also got the drivers seat working/looking the way it should.

I thought the Lynx had a 2 spoke steering wheel? Maybe I'm thinking of something else.
Your project sure is looking good. Keep up the good work!

Varoom, Varoom!
Peter,
Looks fantastic! So, sitting in the driver's seat, did you go "varoom, varoom"? Visioning yourself careening down switch back dirt roads, jumping over small risers in the fields and double shifting, on the fly Ok, back to reality. Keep up the great work! It will be done before spring time!

Alex,
Thanks for your comments. The Lynx steering wheel is a three spoke. To date on this restoration I have been able to remain faithful to the original by rebuilding, using NOS parts when I am fortunate or else by replicating items such as the steering wheel. Richard, While I admit to spending a fair bit of time daydreaming, I also recognize that I am not yet at the half way point. Still, quite a motivator. Peter 2015-11-20 11.37.32.jpg
