Thanks, Peter

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.

Rick,

Thank you very much for posting your pictures of the radiator splash shield. A picture is worth more than a thousand words. The only visual reference I had been able to find was a sketch in the Lynx operators manual. No references at all in the maintenance manuals.

If you have ready access to your shield, a sketch and dimensions of the domed access cover, would be great.

Thanks again. Made my day. Peter

Hi Peter,

Took some measurements for you.

In the first on, the calipers are about 1/4" too wide as is the measurement on the tape, so take off 1/4". (5 1/2 not 5 3/4').

Dome height is 2 1/5".

More to come.

The rim is 1/2" wide and as you can see is held by a rivet on the left side and slides under a keeper on the right.
