Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

David,

The basic measurements are 3 5/8" thick at the top tank, 25 7/8" wide and 29' tall from the top of the upper tank to the base of the bottom tank. There was an add on MLU, this summer that was for a WW 11 generator. It was powered by a period Ford flat head and the radiator certainly appeared to be the same. I'm suggesting that this radiator was used for more than the Lynx.

Peter, does the image from the manual also show the full part number? There is a NOS radiator on ebay at the moment (https://www.ebay.com/itm/33304539102...sAAOSwhJFb8duO) for an 11A-8005B. While similar, the top tank appears taller than the Generator rad.

The Canadians manufactured larger "Rear engine chassis " during the war , as used in the "Indian Pattern Wheeled Carrier's " . These use a very similar
radiator, but the filler cap position and the crank hole in the core are offset, to the middle on the Lynx, but physical dimensions are the same , cheers Andrew.

Andrew,

The parts manual shows C29SR 8005B for the radiator assembly. This suggests that it is even different than the earlier marks of the Lynx.

Hi Peter, as far as I can tell, radiators for both models of Lynx are the same, a couple of subtle differences probably are that the rear shroud on the back of the radiator, maybe slightly different , and one of the top outlet pipes that heads back to the engine on the Left hand side has a couple of bends in it to avoid the generator and regulator, on the Mk2 , but the outlet pipe on the actual radiator stays the same. I take it your crank hole is offset in the hull, so would coincide with an offset with the hole in the radiator core? The picture of the radiator on that generator is identical to the Indian Patterned Armored Car Chassis that were produced , being rear engine. Cheers Andrew.

Hello Guys,

Many thanks for all the info about the radiator!
All this info will really help me further.

Just a note to further add. The engine in the Lynx chassis does sit offset to the center line, to line up with the transfer case input shaft, That is why the crank hole will be off set in the radiator core , as the radiator itself sits evenly in the chassis, Cheers Andrew.
