Stiffener
Just out of interest, the little stiffener dimensions are 1&1/2" wide x 5/8" high and 3/8" dia. internal pressing, Cheers Andrew.

Thank you
Andrew,
Thank you ! The dimensions are different than the stiffeners used in the lower cabs. I shudder at the thought of trying to gather the required information to restore an old vehicle such as the Lynx without the support of people such as yourself, the MLU forum, and the internet. Could I trouble you for one more set of measurements? The reinforcing patch that goes over the latch area? Thanks again, Peter

Peter, I am missing the centre piece extension, but on the main lid there is no evidence of reinforcing? , but I do note the pictures of Rick's Lid post 563 and the second and 3rd pic in post 561 that shows a reinforcement, the lid I showed was also from a MK1, Cheers Andrew

Another step
Guys,
My fabricator, Andy, was able to faithfully replicate the bullet splash shield surrounds, forge a set of hinges and mount the cast fuel filler covers. I'm biased, but it certainly looks good. Thanks to MLU members from Australia, Canada, England and New Zealand I now think I have enough information to create the drawings to fabricate the front storage bin. Just to double check everything I've decided to assemble a wooden version to test the dimensions and fit. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but I'm getting closer to paint.

Small stuff
Guys,
More small stuff. I suppose this entire restoration consists of a series of small steps. Had the new document holder and WS 19 spare parts holder welded in place. Slowly filling up. Peter IMG_1138.jpg IMG_1137.jpg

Outstanding Peter.
When I first got into MV restoration I knew very little. Over the course of time I picked up the skills, as have you. I remember Dad telling me not to look at the project as one big piece- that in itself would be overwhelming. Rather, as he suggested, look at it as a whole bunch of smaller pieces. Envision each as its own sub assembly, each a project of its own. Take bite size pieces. Before you knew it I have a baffed out 12 cab Ford CMP fully restored and running. 21 months.

Looks great. The saying I use is “One rusty bolt at a time”
