I need some Procat measurements.

[tahustvedt]

My Procat has the wrong rear wing/shock mount, I think it's from a Cougar, so It's been cut in the bottom to fit on the Pocat. The problem with this is that the shock mounts are too low (I think) and possibly too close together. I can make a fiberglass shock mount to fix it, but I need some measurments.

I need to know the center to center distance between the two top shock mounting bolt holes, and how high the shock bolt holes are above the wing mount mounting holes (or something similar, like above the transmission plates if the part is installed on the car). Can someone help me?

[Stretch]

67mm for the shock mounting holes, and about 8mm vertical separation between the top shock mounting and the mounting holes for the shock/wing bracket.

The part number is T275.

Thanks. It's a hard to find part. I'm monitoring Ebay for a replacement.

I'll buy it if you want to sell it.

I also need a Procat front bumper.


Here it is. I made a fiberglass shock mount shaped sorta like the original, a fiberglass steering arm (cracked original), and some fiberglass battery supports for hard case lipos. The electronics are from HobbyKing.

I have a new, unpainted body for it, and a set of JC racing wheels. The originals will be for show, with some new rear tires. I don't have the top belt cover. Never used one back in the day and it never caused problems for me.

I will have a look as soon as I'm home before I post your wishbones to save you paying postage twice

Fantastic! I'm crossing my fingers.

That's looking good. Where will you race it?

[tahustvedt]

I live in Northern Norway. I'll probably bring it to the local (as in 50 km from here) track when the snow melts in may and play with it. I don't think I'll get a chance to race it.

I think I'll paint the body in the box art theme. I ordered some decals from here: http://www.pandagfx.com/

Did you get a chance to check?

I've got a new t275 if the other one falls through. I also have a nip GM alloy one, but that would need wire wing mounts fitting.

From what I have seen, many of the Schumacher Team drivers were using a fibreglass brace which had a similar profile to the face of the original plastic shock tower. This was sadwiched between the plastic tower and the gearbox mount. I personaly like to stay with the factory look so have stayed away from the Bosscat tower (even though it has far more position adjustability). The plastic tower is too flimsy on its own and you realy do need the strengthening plate if you want to shocks to opperate properly.
