It's great that you folks are going to spring for the manuals. I just have to put out this warning to anyone who uses these manuals and then puts their car in a CTCI Concours thinking they are authentic. The manuals depict "service parts" which may not be identical to "production parts". Also, some illustrations might have minor deviations from what was done in production.
An example of "service part" deviation: Hardware (screws, nuts, washers etc.) frequently deviate from production types. Split lock washers are shown where the factory may have used star washers.
An example of illustration error: The cross arm that attaches the upper control arm to the frame shows the attaching hardware installed backwards.
Granted, all these items are "CS", and most of us couldn't care less, but it does happen!
