Default SWB Cat restoration, can anyone help?

Hi

I have a SWB cat thats a bit of a mess at the moment. Its chassis and top deck are badly 'home' made and all three drive belts are very worn. I'm gonna check the sdp belt Kazsal mentioned on yatchys xls/swb restoration thread.

A 6Z16M298045 from sdp-si.com

https://sdp-si.com/eStore/PartDetail...54&GroupID=342

I've got a couple of rear ones from a procat restoration that should fit.

As for the chassis and top deck I'll get one made but I'd like to get a 'white' GRP one cut. Does anyone know of any sources where I can get this material? Someone mentioned this being the subject of a previous thread on here but I've looked and can't find anything.

I also need a front axle T086 if anyone has got a spare one, or failing that if someone can give me the dimensions I'll make one. Other parts required are:
2 x front hubs T029 (the originals have split)
2 x upper pivot blocks T079 (originals drilled so wishbone mounting is sloppy?)
2 x Front upper pivot blocks T058 (Large screw has ruined threads)
1 x Rear track rod A095
And total long shot but an original front bumpr would be nice. Or failing that an XL bumper in reasonable to good condition.

Is anyone making repro cat tyres?

Also can you still get screw that look like the originals from anywhere?

Thanks to people on oople, rctech and schumacher forums for help on my Top Cat and Pro Cat projects the cars are looking great, will post some pictures of both soon.

Alex
