Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

Grant,

Thanks for your suggestion about the Vanpelt and Greensales sites. I wasn't aware of theses outfits.

Looks as if they've got all the parts that I need to rebuild the front shifter mechanism, plus a few more that were on my wish list.

Guys,

Due to the limited space in the drivers space (ergonomics was not the first priority with CMP designs) I used a chunk of plywood as a template of the front floor to dry fit some of the operators controls and see how all the bits and pieces that I've acquired/ salvaged/ had fabricated, fit together. Highlights what is missing, but still feels like progress.

Guys,

A good friend, Mike Hopkins, came for a week long visit and found himself pulling wrenches in the garage. Quickly sorted out the gear shifter and linkage issues, then we replaced all the wheel brake cylinders.
Fortunately our wives are understanding and limited their shopping sprees. With luck the frame and undercarriage will be off to be painted next week.

Peter,

It's coming together really well! You're making great progress. Keep the updates coming. Do you have a date in mind for the final roll out?

Perry,

Thanks for your comments, My original goal was to have the Lynx on the road, in four years from the time that I got it. While I may appear to be ahead, I am thoroughly enjoying the journey and the people that I meet along the way.

Guys,

With the engine off being stripped down and magnafluxed, and the rolling chassis not yet back from the paint shop, I've now turned to some of the electrical system.

The Lynx has two main junction boxes, one in the crew compartment and one in the engine compartment. The one from the crew compartment is in pretty rough shape. I am trying to source some of the female connectors, without much luck.

Would anyone have some ideas where I could source some or better yet, have some they would be willing to part with ?

I was very lucky to acquire a full NOS loom from one JB to the other from Dirk L. . I am positively surprised at what is still available out there.

Here are some pictures of what I'm looking for.

Thanks again, Peter
