Looking for manuals for F9F-8T Cougar. Restoring for static display, so Maintenance and Parts manuals are particularly of interest.

Update to my searching. The National Air and Space Museum Archives has all the maintenance and parts manuals for the F9F-8T Cougar I am restoring. The maintenance manuals cover all of the F9F variants. The parts manuals are specifically -8T, since that is what I only requested [costs involved].

I additionally requested and received the detailed historical data on the A/C [free].

Thanks, Tom. I did check them out at your advice. They have some, but not the ones I'm looking for. Needing the Parts manuals more than anything. Looks like I'll have to order the docs from the National Air and Space Museum - nobody seems to have the Parts manuals. Only the maintenance or Flight Manuals.

Thanks for the input, though.
