C1 Missing On Thumb Drive

C1 rev 5 shows a stiffer axle and a nut for bearing preload adjustment
I'm guessing C1 fell off the list of drawings for 6A and 8A in 2019 when it went to rev 6; the list of applications in the title block dropped the 6A and 8A.
In addition to not being on the OP's thumb drive, C1 is not in the Van's store at My Aircraft / RV-6A. C1 rev 6 is on my RV-7A thumb drive and Van's support says it is the latest. C1 rev 4 is on my RV-6A thumb drive implying I purchased that thumb drive before 2019.
Attached is rev 6 to show a stiffer axle and a nut for bearing preload adjustment were incorporated at rev 5, one day before rev 6. The nose fork part number did not change with the new axle. One could also use the Matco axle or the Anti-Splat mod.
