Hi Pete,
Your gunners seat is probably a bit more comfortable than the one in mine. KVE Corowa2014 013.JPG Keep up the good work, Rick.

They look great in place on the seat frames Peter.

Gunners seat
Rick/David,
My understanding of the Observers/Gunners seat is that it went through several evolutions during the development of the the Lynx. The seat that you have Rick is the first version and the second drawing is of the later version. I was able to replicate the raising/lower mechanism, but the seat base pan and back was too much of a challenge. I elected to use the Driver's seat which uses a conventional CMP seat mounted on a unique raising/lowering mechanism as a model for my Observers/Gunners seat. Peter ob seat1 (2).jpg obseat2 (2).jpg

Canada Day
Guys,
Another quiet day in the county. I hope the 'light at the end of the tunnel' is not an express freight train, and that life will return to normal. Peter july1st.jpg

Guys,
Our oldest grandson, Chase, is visiting and of course we had to take the Lynx for a spin. He is now the third generation of our family to take the Lynx for a drive. Peter IMG_2866.jpg IMG_2865.jpg

Close call
Guys,
Had a great weekend at the Aquino show at the Ontario Tank Museum, networking with the folks from the OMVA and participating in some of the field events. Found that I still have an issue with a front end shimmy at speed over rough ground. This took a back seat when I heard a disturbing sound when parking the Lynx at home. Poking around I found that the double drive pulley that is bolted to the end of the crankshaft had come loose and allowed the fan blades to brush up against the radiator. Fortunately no damage to the radiator other than removing some paint. Now to find a better way to secure the ratchet bolt. Peter pic1.jpg pic2.jpg pic3.jpg
