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.

The back edge fits snugly against the rear armour and another piece against the radiator to help direct the air flow past the engine.

Do you have the other shields which fit around the engine and help direct the warm air out underneath?

Rick,

Thank you very much. You've translated a lot of my guesswork into something real. Here I was concerned about what the two lower brackets for the oil cooler mounted to. You have provided me with lots of "food for thought".
I wasn't even aware of the additional shields that your Lynx 1 is provided with. There is no evidence of these on my Lynx 11.
A trip to the CWM in Ottawa is now in the books to view the setup on their Lynx 11.

I really appreciate the pictures and information. Peter

Hi Peter
When Brian, Mel and I came for a visit you mentioned your son was on the fire department in Fort McMurray. The fire chief was on Toronto radio tonight and said that they have lost 1800 homes so far with the wildfires. He also said Highway 63 was shut down so the evacuation of the 88,000 residents is kind of stalled. I guess the road is plugged with people out of gas trying to make the four and a half hour drive to Edmonton where the evacuation centres are. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

Barry,

Thanks for your kind words. Our hearts are not only with our family, but with all the people of Ft McMurray as they cope with this tragedy.

Guys,

With the information provided by Rick Cove and the aid of some sketches from the operators manual I had enough information to take to my local engraver and have a new one fabricated. These small items can be just as rewarding as the larger components.
I cannot begin to think how difficult this process would have been without MLU and it's members. I quite like Phil Waterman's words on the subject of "paying it forward".

Peter
