Bows for your C8
Jim,
I've got a F8 and made my own bows. Tried to attach a drawing (not to scale) of the bows and cross members for mine but the file is too large. If you'd like an email with the drawing, please let me know. I did attach a picture of the finished product. Hope this gives you some ideas! Regards, Jim

I made up an extended set for a landrover SWB Ambulance by just squashing cold in a big vice between two pieces of angle iron and it worked remarkably well with a minimum of fuss
Cheers Phill

Mike,
Actually I had a metal fabricator do the job. When I picked up the pieces he remarked that it had taken him several efforts to get them all to match one another. I knew right then I'd made the right decision to have him do the job as I didn't have the bending equipment, press and patience to do it myself! Best regards, Jim

C8 Near you
You should try to get ahold of Don Gordon at the western command website. (I don't have his email with me at work) Don is in Victoria B.C. and has had his C8 down to Portland at the MVPA convention. His Partner Katrinka, made a beautiful canvas back, mud flaps and all the canvas bits. He could also send you the measurements for the frames.
I'll try to find a picture for you. http://the-hole.com/WCMVHS/image-mir...G_0015_JPG.jpg Here you go! We will be at the Arlington Airshow in July, Don too I suspect.
