I finally got back to working on the C8. I managed to dig up 5 seats for the Cab 11 so that will outfit it. The early Cab 11 seats don't fold so won't work here but that's OK since I need the two that I have for my C15 anyway. The Cab 13 seats have a different slide mechanism so won't work either. If you had to you could put the Cab 11 slides on a Cab 13 seat and that would work but if you had the slides you'd have the seat too.
I've got quite a few pieces ready for paint and I also installed the aircraft tires on the front axle. They look the part except for the tread but when there's no other option I'll put up with it. Tubes with the right valve stems were hard to find and so are the springs for the back of the seats. I have quite a few seat springs that broke where they hook on the ring but I'll just bend the next coil out for the hook and that'll work.
