thanks, JH
For a G you need the G manual series as they fit the A/C and are usually the latest dates. The Harvard Mk 4 manuals are pretty similar and Late time frame as well although they would be considered a reference.
For insp though the T-6G list of manuals lists both a 1T-6C-6 and references the same under 1T-6G-6. My copy is revised in 56.
The Canadians list 05 55A-7A for Periodical Inspections for the 2, 2A and 4. Their is no date given for that manual but it is listed in the Maint manual that was last revised in 62.
My only suggestion is that you take it to someone who is familiar with the T-6 and even other warbirds. If you go to someone who hasn't worked on them you will be paying for their learning curve. Particularly if changing a tire is involved, I've seen a puncture with cracks where the inside of the tube sits from some form of tire changing abuse. Also anything to do with the fuel system, it's selector linkage and selector in particular.
Does it need valves adjusted or the AD on the cylinder heads performed? Their are different methods for the adjustment.
There are many gotchas with any particular A/C and the more informed and experienced the workers the better off you and your A/C are.
I wish you the best.
