Can you even get carbon fibre other colours apart from black?

Do you reckon you'll get the belt cover anytime soon?

Keith, send me one... I'll give it a good home and send you the photos too

Cripes, if Keith is just sending them out for testing there's gotta be some of us who are closer than Sweden!

If anyone has Keith's email can they email him? Might be encouraging for him to know there are orders waiting... ker-ching

Default 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!

Default 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.

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..!)

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

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 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?
