When I was assembling the cab 11 C8 cab, I found a few rough and ready discrepancies . The drivers side arch bar was twisted , this caused the wing to sit up a a strange angle .

The other thing was, the panel under the same arch bar had been banged with a mallet a few times to make it fit in place. There was no evidence of any accident damage to any other parts eg chassis . I reckon this ad hoc fitting was done at the factory - it took them a while to work things out .

I believe I have a May 1940 made C8 , going by the research I did .
