Well done, I did not have to get mine weighed for rego, so I do not know what the actual weight is. You will have an incorrect weight reading Peter, as the engine cover weighs a lot. What did she weigh in at?
Regards Rick.

Fettling
Rick,
The Lynx weighted in at 3,209 kgs, You are right, when the engine covers, radiator armour and bins are added this will change. I will have her re weighted, and I'll share that with you. Through some more great MLU networking I was able to find a foundry here in Ontario, that had some of the correct cast handles for the engine cover fasteners. Mine were missing. Great to stroke another item off the list. Now in the fettling stage. Two steps forward and one back. Have some issues to sort out with my shift lever and linkage. Wonder what the next one will be.

Thanks for the weight reading Peter, Be interesting to compare a Lynx 1 and a Lynx 11.
Do the foundry have any more screw down handles as I only have one and need three more. Thanks Rick.

Handles
Rick,
Judging by the price, I think they flipped them from another foundry. I had to cut the shank to length, drill out the centre to accept the stud and then cut a groove to accept the retaining clip. Still, it was worth it to get the correct handles. PM to follow with the details. Peter

Buttoned up
Guys,
Finally got the engine covers/decks sorted out and installed. While the manual refers to them as the "hood", the weight makes this term seem a bit pale. Doubt if it is waterproof, but certainly adds to her appearance. Peter 2017-08-06 11.36.17.jpg 2017-08-06 13.26.16.jpg 2017-08-06 13.29.41.jpg

Is she sitting a little lower on the back end now, Peter?

No change
Dave,
Doesn't seem to have altered her stance. Took her for a spin and some pictures, but I can't seem to be able to upload them. Will post them once I figure out whats going on. Peter
