I went through the same thing on the museum's lynx a couple years ago. I rewired it with bullet connectors, and also had a few of those bullet receptacles come off, or else work loose, causing heat.
In the end, any that were an issue I merely used unions to join the two applicable wires together. I had no luck in finding the proper terminal blocks. If you have any luck, let me know. |

Still awaiting the fate of the engine, so I started on the fuel system and cleaned up the old drive shafts and replaced the u joints. Small steps but quite satisfying. Never thought that I would get excited over an oil leak, but it's a few steps closer.

Peter, looking fantastic, I am envious.
![]() I see your Lynx has the original tires fitted. I ran the same ones on my 12 cab Ford cmp without issue, as they are basically solid rubber run flats. As a tip for you, if you buy some tire blacking, you can get them looking as new. I don't imagine you are going to be putting many miles on her and I think having the period correct tires is great.

Chris,
Thanks for your comments. You've touched the one subject that I have been procrastinating about - the tires. My first choice would be to keep the originals, but two of them are in quite rough shape. I'm leaning towards a set of ferret tires, if I can find them. I've also considered the NDT 9:00 by 16 and the STA 10.5 by 16. Haven't ruled any of them out, just yet. Peter |

Hi Peter, I have some NOS original 10.50 x 16 tyres and I thought about running them on the Lynx , but when you match them up they appear physically too big. The Ferret tyres you talk about are a good idea , but you will have to check weather they will fit on the CMP rims, there is a thread further back I believe with regards to British and USA tyres on rims , so you would have to check, I think it was the angle of the bead, so someone will enlighten us as to the differences. I do have a Lynx on 9.00 x16 NDT that appear to have fitted with no problems.

Andrew,
Thanks for sharing your experience. The Lynx at the War museum, in Ottawa also has the NDT 9:00 by 16s, which look quite good, but I would like to replicate the chevron pattern on the originals, if possible. Charles, Looks right, but I am looking for the female connectors that mount to the terminal strip, not the male portion. Thanks, Peter |
