Membership benefits
Rick,
Glad to hear that you were successful. Small return for the benefits that I've gained from you posts and pictures. They have been quite a motivator. Peter

Wiring
Guys,
Got a shipment of colour coded, cloth covered wiring from Vintage wiring of Maine. Tackled the wiring from the crew compartment JB to the dash board. It looks as if the original wiring caught fire in this section. Cannot help but commenting on Rick's Lynx 1 where the wiring is all one colour - black. The Lynx 11 uses over twenty different colour schemes. Peter 2016-02-22 19.26.04.jpg 2016-02-23 10.34.31.jpg 2016-02-28 14.38.20.jpg

Care package
Folks,
Just received a package from LWD parts. Brings out the same sentiments as young kids at Christmas, when you can open up 70 year old parcels and find great looking parts. Peter 2016-03-02 10.29.03.jpg 2016-03-02 10.33.32.jpg

Stefan must have posted your package and mine about the same time as I have also just received a package of Lynx bits from LWD parts. Unfortunately the radiator cap, (part no. 8100), does not fit the Lynx radiator so I will have to use it on the carrier radiator.
Is that a choke or throttle cable I see in your photo? I had to make new handles as I left them in the molasses mix a day or two too long and the mixture dissolved the die-cast handles. It did de-rust the cables for me. Regards Rick.

Handles
Rick,
That is a manual fuel throttle that you see. Both my original Choke and Throttle cables were rusted out and the Choke handle broken. Now I've got two good cables and three handles. Of course all three handles are engraved with a T for throttle. Small matter. Peter

British content
Guys,
To date all the components for the Lynx have been of Canadian or American manufacture. That is about to change. I had taken one of the last electrical components - wire fuse and holder, C19SR 14525 to the OMVA meet in Acton, to try and find one. No luck, but folks suggested that I goggle SLYDOK and see what was out there. Thanks Colin and Charlie. Up popped The Fuse Company in England. Will have to wait until I can talk to a real person tomorrow, but it looks as if they still carry them. The fuse looks like a more modern one, but this could be one of the last pieces of the electrical puzzle. Was great to attend the swap meet and reconnect with folks and have some faces and personalities to place with email connections. Belonging to MLU and OMVA have allowed me to meet a lot of great people. Peter 2016-03-13 01.30.49.jpg 2016-03-12 16.58.08.jpg

Odd that this one seems to show the clips in the slidey- bit - makes more sense...
