Carrier plate
Charlie,
The plate is yours. Should you ever come across any Lynx parts I would appreciate a "head up". Peter

Many thanks, and I would gladly steer any Lynx bits to you.
Can we arrange a visit to your shop?

More small steps
Folks,
Strange how life works at times. I had the original ignition coil shielding box with the Lynx, but no cover. Got a second box from Stew Robertson, but again, no cover. Lo and behold, the collection of Lynx parts that J.P. Brescacin generously offered me had an elusive cover. Great feeling when these small bits come together. Got to paint some more small pieces, and moved some more item from the "to be rebuilt" shelving to the "ready to install" shelving. Life goes on, Peter 2015-07-13 17.34.01.jpg 2015-07-13 17.06.41.jpg

Kinda nice, isn't it? When you first get a project and it seems overwhelming.
My father's advice? Do not look at it as a whole; consider it a bunch a parts that make up sub assemblies. A bunch of sub assemblies make up the whole thing. Pick something, tear it apart, fix it. Put it on the shelf. One day there are no more assemblies to fix/restore or paint. Now it is time to take them and start bolting together. Whenever I get into a project I try to do a little each day. Even if it is indirect work, such as reading up on the manual, picking up parts etc. One day it will all come together. Keep up the great work!

Lynx mk 11, hull # 4225
Hi Peter,
It looks like another great restoration in progress. Very interesting. Going back a few pages on your restoration thread, I am curious about the method used to weld the hull back together. I noted Chris's early comments about the type of rod to use and the question of sandblasting. What did your welder do and use in the end? It looks like he did a fine job whatever he did. Did the hull have to be shimmed/packed at all to allow for the cut that was made in the demilitarising? Was a backing plate required when he was welding? Thanks.
