Back in the day of the Cat 2000, it came with the plastic motor mount/rear housing which was quickly replaced by the solid alloy version which cost over £80 and almost "EVERYONES" Cat 2000 ended up fitted with one and that part (originally) came in just plain alloy and was not even anodised for that money (until they then did them in purple and they went up in price too), but people seemed to just accept it as an important tuning part back then......

I am not saying this is cheap, but it is a lot of "part" for the £60 they are asking....
Ditto!

I use to run one!
£80 for just the bottom rear gearbox and then you needed tops and front bottom!
They were excellent and very well made and in purple alloy hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Stop moaning and get them bought
