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

To my uneducated eyes the two spoke wheel has a surprising amount of plastic for a wartime steering wheel in a vehicle as utilitarian as the Lynx. Without any reason to believe it so, I wonder whether a "will fit" wheel from commercial production may have been substituted. This photo from Mac's looks a bit similar. http://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_me...74906/image/0/

Looking real good Peter
Just like out of the factory! I was looking at your driver seat and just a quick question as my mind might be giving me the gears Were the gunner and driver seat not on spring loaded tubes or were the earlier or later models Keep up the good work and before you know it you will be kicking dust on all the roads not just the back ones Enjoy
