Default Wow

James,

Exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks, I couldn't ask for a better picture of what I wanted. I was struggling to visualize what that support looked like. I've attached a picture of what I had. Just a short stub under the front tow points.
I am amazed that I could get that information from England, that quickly. You saved me a 600 km round road trip to the War Museum in Ottawa.
Would I be stretching my luck if I asked for the dimensions of the angle iron that is under the front bin?
Thanks again, Peter

Peter,

Always a pleasure to help !

The angle iron is 2 inch by 2 inch and is 1/4 inch thick.

Any other measurements you need just shout.

James

Default Thanks

James,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Even by MLU standards, the time between question and answer must be a record.

Peter

Default Choke linkage

Guys,

The carburetor on my Lynx 11 is a Ford 21-29, which is reverse mounted compared to conventional engined CMPs. My original choke linkage was missing and my current setup is reversed to what it should be. Works, but the cab control knob is pulled out when it should be flush and vice versa. I do have the second original piece of the choke linkage.
Would anyone out there have a good picture of the piece that I have identified with the yellow arrow. and would be willing to make a tracing of it ?

Thanks, Peter

You could get this one from Macs and adapt/modify it, or use it as the template.

A business called Vintage speed does Holley parts. Charlie Price is the man. He will have the bit you want to operate with a cable, or a rod (ball end)
Good to deal with. He lists on ebay, but you are better to go direct to his web site.

Nice site, Lynn: thanks for that.

Peter,

The exact part you need is even pictured on the reproduction 94 carbie on Vintage Speed's website, so he must have them reproduced and hopefully have them available.

Mike
