Lynx1 No.23 Home!

[Peter Duggan]

Harry,

Great looking machine, sounds like it is a very early Lynx. Do you have the hull number ?

Peter,

Possibly #23 ? Just a wild guess !

Well done George, I am looking forward to the day I drive mine out of my shed for the first time. Nearly there, just a bit of ill health holding things up. I wonder how many will that make on the road world wide now?

This is hull no. 1726 which I have restored from a complete wreck. I lent it to a museum for a few months, so it also sat on 80km/h with out any problems..

went back and read every Lynx posting on MLU over the last month. I'm catching up fast. Been working on bits and pieces all week, its around 5 to 10 degrees Celsius, freezing my but off, wearing latex gloves for warmth not just to keep my hands clean.Found the serial number and yes it is #23.
hydraulic clutch but missing the original hydraulic throttle so its cable. I see the lynx2 had a mechanical throttle and a cable clutch, that would be an improvement but I've serviced it all and may rebuild the slave cylinder on the clutch, the leak is pretty bad. Going through it, making lists of the to do's. I'll get it all shaken down mechanically before repainting it.

Hope you are not trying to get the sympathy vote. It was -42°C when I went to the truck this morning, but it has warmed up to a balmy -33°C now.

Clean hands….give it up!!!

And 5 to 10 C is prime working weather. Any warmer and it gets uncomfortably hot, at least here on Ontario.

I sympathize with you guys but I'm staying put! If I ever get to driving cross Canada in my CMP it will not be in the winter! On the news I see back east they were pouring Kerosene on railway tracks and lighting it up so the tracks wouldn't break! Yikes!

I know we are getting off track here, but, last Friday, 25th January 2019 we had a top temperature here of 47.1c (119.76f) at 1.15pm. Yes it was a bit warm. The temp dropped 15c degrees in 12 minutes when a change came through a bit later. Currently now it is 23.7c. We just saw the heating of the rail lines over there on our news program. Stay warm and well folks.
Regards Rick.

That might well be the no 1 reason, but it's posts like Harry's that is no.2

No offence meant just the seasonal ribbing that I usually only inflict on distant workmates, but i"m retired now so up to no good all the time!

Hi guys,

Not much winter here, but am going through Dirks warehouse and find a lot of Lynx parts which we bought (the most) from Nordian Services Uk years ago with the CMP parts.

I have some parts listed now my website, there are lots more still on the shelves, if you need anything, please ask!

Kind regards,

Stefan
