Hi Andrew,
An interesting thread. I note the similarities between the Lynx clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder and the (Ford) M8/M20 throttle master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder.

Hi Andrew, What a job, doing 4 x Lynx restorations. This is the story of my restoration of Hull 1726. It is not technical like yours is but might also help others.
http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=23906 I am looking forward to sorting out my last few problems and will watch your story with interest. Regards Rick. r6eoet7apnyz.jpg

Thanks Rick, your thread has heaps of relevant information for this Vehicle. The majority of mine were Ex-Australian , so match along with your DOD contracts.
Just re-capping from Post 4, with regards to the return spring for the clutch slave. 4 x NOS originals turned up Today , so we can now tell that they are 11" long . When I do the final assembly in the chassis, that will also confirm the length of the push rod , Cheers Andrew.

Today we jump to the Lynx speedo. I was looking at a post that Harry Moon was saying that he was going to look into his speedo situation, so thought I might put up a few technical bits of information with regards to the speedo.
Mk1 and Mk2 Lynx run the same speedo face. The drive gear originates from the transfer case and is cut on an opposite handed direction compared to the standard F15 single speed transfer case one. This is shown in the photo, the R/H one is standard F15 and L/H one is Lynx. As far as I can tell Mk1 and Mk2 use the same gear cut. The reason for this would be that the engine is mounted in the rear of the vehicle, so turning the transfer case in the opposite direction as opposed to the standard CMP truck with engine up front. The driven gear is a 15 tooth with part number 205052 , but is referenced as C19SR-17271 part number. The Mk2 Lynx uses a 16 tooth gear with part number 205039 , and is referenced by C29SR - 17271. The different gear ratio's come about because the MK1 uses a 5.83 differential ratio and the Mk2 uses a 6.66 ratio. Tire sizes on both model of Lynx' are the same, originally 9.20 x 16 , but today we just use the standard 9.00 x 16 , although I am thinking of using some NOS 1942 Dated 10.50 x 16 on my Mk2 , as the tires are in perfect condition, and they are runflats also. Cheers from The Tank Factory.

while my ideal solution would be getting that lynx gear, (the original seems long lost before i got it), so my backup plan is to squeeze in a reverser at the transfer case because i discovered running the speedo cable backwards and reversing the rotation at the speedometer resulted in a cable failure within miles. but it's tight in there and the one i just happened to have is to big. haven't worried to much about it so far. but i will gitter done at some point.

Hi Harry, I am calling into a very clever local machinist this week, so might see if he can make a couple of these gears. This guy has made complete engines for WW1 aircraft from scratch , which includes making crankshafts from very expensive billets of special steel! Cheers Andrew.

I was just playing around with a couple of these electrical components today.
At the top of the picture is a nice NOS master battery switch , made by Bepco Canada Ltd. , then we have the voltage divider that mounts on the inside of the engine compartment against the firewall, this splits 12volt to six volt for the gauges. The Lynx uses 2 x 6 volt batteries to make the 12volts. The last item is the Autolite regulator , model number VRH 4106B , this is 12 volt @ 50amps rated, Cheers from The Tank Factory.
