Are these items available anywhere, or would anyone perhaps have a drawing so I can fab my own?

Cheers,

Dan

I've made my own in the past with (I think) 1.5mm piano wire. I couldn't find a drawing myself so it was just a bit of trial and error and lots of wire.

There's a template for it in the original Cat manual, you were given lengths of piano wire and expected to bend your own.

The XLS was the only one with pre-bent wires, the wing mount is a different shape to earlier ones.

Just curious on the difference of the Cat XL, XLS & Pro Cat.

I can't tell the difference looking at my Cat XL to Pro Cat as i'm sure they aren't 100% standard.

From memory the Cat XLS has chrome wheels, Sway bars & one Way. Not Sure.

Than the...

Can anyone tell me whether the parts for the Schumacher Cat, Cat XL and Cat XLS are the same? Also, there appear to be various parts listed on EBAY with part numbers beginning with U. Does anyone know whether I can locate a list which sets out which...

Hi everyone!
I would like to try to mount a B6 rear wing mount to a stock JRX2. First, is it possible? Second, if it is can I use the original shock tower? And is there a template available out there?
Thanks everyone!

Wouldn't this be a lot like putting a modern Chevrolet tailgate on an early 90's Ford truck? :lol:

A question for those who have found alternative wing mounting options for their race yz10s, what are they?

My driving skills are at such a level I keep bending the standard wire setup :roll: :lol: and wondered if there were any other modern and...

Last post

Looking into this further it may be more complicated than I first thought as my 91 runs a custom Fibre Lyte rear shock tower that forces a lower wing stay fixing position, I think I’m just going to have to try a few different stays and see what...

Hi,
I want to rebuild and run my old Schumacher CAT from 1986, as left for the last 30 years on a shelf.
This was one of the first kit imported in France, with short wheel base, I later convert it to an XL/XLS hybrid with long chassis, widened front...

Last post

Those are some great action shots, thanks for posting them.
FWIW, I don't believe my CAT's were ever the best jumpers. I'd always fiddle with shock oil and springs and never seem to get it perfect.
I also agree with you about the wind shovel mount,...

i've seen some pics where the rear wing is mounted on the shock tower instead of using the aluminum tubes. the metal wire from the wing is put into a small metal piece that screwed into one of the shock mounts and held in place by a little set...
