Cat belt cover & alloy inner trans housing
 
Im after a belt cover to fit and xls/procat/bosscat, anyone know of anyone doing any repro ones ? Seen the shells but no belt covers that fit the top deck
Also after an alloy inner transmission housing if anyone has one knocking around that they fancy parting with ?
Thanks

Those belt covers are rare as rocking horse sh*t - I haven't seen any in... forever! :(

isobarik 16-02-2011 08:30 AM

Also looking for one and if anyone find one send it to kamtec so it can be duplicated.

dave, i`ve got a used one you can borrow as a pattern to get some made if you want. i also have an alloy inner housing that for some reason has had a hole cut in the front you can have.

kaszal 16-02-2011 10:50 AM

Yes, they are very rare in good condition! I asked Team Bluegroove and they might be interested if they could get a new 'master' to work from. I'm happy with their Procat shell and undertray. Maybe someone would be willing to send them one?

It's dead simple! It doesn't even need to be that spectacular as it's just to keep the transmission dirt/fluff free! I'd gladly make a mould out of wood or something if it's possible for Keith to make a mould from it!

Bugle 17-02-2011 06:53 AM

I have got moulds of 3 different types of belt covers, so I can vacform some.
One is SWB CAT, the other 2 are for long wheelbase, one has that flat rectangle thingo near the front (I think this is for a CAT XL) the other is the same length but without the rectangular bit which I think is for the Procat?
Is Bosscat the same fitment aswell?

kaszal 17-02-2011 08:21 AM

Put me down for one of the Procat belt covers please.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of demand... who can get these made?

isobarik 17-02-2011 10:23 AM

Ta daaa found one just didnt remember that i got it....

I.ll guess that it can be best would have been if it wasnt cut but i think it works and the finish is not so importante on an beltcover.

kaszal 17-02-2011 01:21 PM

Great... will you send it to TBG or Kamtec? I heard Kamtec takes forever.

The Procat shell I got from TBG is good. There's a photo in my thread Procat for Li-Fe.

Shall email him and ask.

QuackingPlums 17-02-2011 05:18 PM

Deffo interested in a repro! Willing to contribute towards costs of getting these made too - even if it means underwriting the first x off the line!* :woot:

Does anybody remember what the flat bit was for? I keep thinking it's for sticking the driver to but I think it's too far forward for that!


* where x < 10 :p

kaszal 21-02-2011 02:13 PM

How did you get on, Henrik?

btw he's got a sweet photo of my shell (paint by RCS) on his eBay listing...

isobarik 15-03-2011 02:41 PM

QuackingPlums 17-03-2011 12:44 AM

kaszal 17-03-2011 11:50 AM

J_WOODY 17-03-2011 12:01 PM

Kamtec Procat belt covers
 
I spoke to Kamtec a couple of weeks ago and they said they would have a prototype belt cover ready soon that they would send me one to test.

I've just called Keith and he should be sending it to me today so I'll update you as soon as I have it.

Hopefully we'll soon have a supply for these!

belt cover
 
I personally prefer Brian's belt cover because it doesn't have the square section in the middle. What was this bit for... to make a little window to check the belt tension perhaps? imo the Procat cover with the straight sides is easier to seal up.

simonl 28-03-2011 04:07 PM

I've cut out & fitted the Kamtec belt cover prototype that Keith sent to me, and it's looking good. I've sent Keith some feedback and photos. It was a mm or 2 too short but Keith had told me to expect that as he needed to adjust the form - but he wanted someonbe to test it before he did so.

It was a copy of the version with the square bit on it as per kaszal's post.

I'll keep you posted.

Attached area couple of pics (I'm partway through the re-build..!)

brian s 30-03-2011 01:08 PM

I`ve given the mould to mrspeedy (phatbodies) and he is getting some covers moulded.

simonl 05-04-2011 09:44 PM

Hi Brian - not sure if you plane to make these available to sell but if so please can you put me down for one. I prefer it to the version with the square bit on it.

thanks. Simon

brian s 23-04-2011 05:54 PM

should have some covers soon,spoke to si (mrspeedy) on friday and they are being done.

gainsy 25-04-2011 08:22 PM

yes please
 
Hi, could i PLEASE have at least 1 of these belt covers, desperate to get my bosscat back on the track, many thanks, Gainsy

brian s 08-05-2011 11:09 AM

have had belt covers delivered and have cut one out and fitted it to a procat.
when i first looked at the cover i thought i had not made the belt groove long enough but when fitted the clearance around the pulley is ok with no fouling,and the fit is good at the rear. what do you think of them?.

Looks nice :thumbsup: Does the quality of the mould feel good?

Will they be for sale on their website http://phatbodies.bigcartel.com/ or do we order here?
