Who will do the balancing....?
Keep us posted of who/where that will do your wheels........ could not find anyone in the rural area East of Ottawa....even farm tractor tire shops doing truck tires. Most have suggested moving the tires around in different locations and adjusting to lower or higher pressure..... and it did help!!!!

Success
Bob,
Benson Tire, 61 Enterprise Dr, Belleville. Took two tires there this afternoon. It took me longer to persuade them, than it took to balance the wheels. Done while I waited. Next two for tomorrow. 79$ for the two. The worst wheel/tire took 4 ounces to balance. I believe that Benson Tire is a chain of stores and I suspect that there is one in the Ottawa area.

Some Benson locations (including Bob's nearest in Rockland) are basically auto parts stores but there is at least one location (2020 Bantree) in Ottawa that does tire service. KalTire is in the same area (Sheffield (not Shefford) Rd) and also does heavy commercial and construction tires.

Balancing
Took 9 ounces on one of mine. I think if the sidewalls were heavier and thicker they wouldn't have needed the balancing.

Mk 1 attempt
Guys,
Had some pieces brazed together that I had assembled for a key to open the escape hatches from the outside. Like the history of the Lynx, my version works, but could be better. I think that my Mk 2 version will take a page from Alastair's book and have a larger handle for better leverage. Peter IMG_2171.jpg

Guys,
My son Patrick donated a nice 1943 Long Branch Lee Enfield to the Lynx, great step forward for the kit. IMG_2202.jpg Also got a new "to me" vintage picture of a Lynx 11, when the RCDs were the reconnaissance regiment for the 1st Canadian corps. Peter IMG_2205.JPG

Social Distancing
Guys,
First really nice day this spring. Couldn't resist, fired up the Lynx and went for a jaunt. My block is 9 kms long, just nice to properly warm up the engine. Our local farmers have yet to work their fields, so we got in some cross country time through some fields and a wood lot as well. Continue to be pleasantly surprised at how nimble and quick the Lynx is for it's size. I suspect that the my grin will take several weeks to wear off. Peter IMG_2215.jpg IMG_2214.jpg
