Procat Kit numbers

[Peakey]

Hi

I know someone on here will be able to enliten me as to the kit I have the number is U409N. It's just curiosity in dateing it really.

Thanks justin

U409N is the kit or part number for the ProCat... so all ProCat's produced come under this # - However the ProCat was only produced for three years (89' to 92') - so you can be sure that it was from this time period

I think the only thing that could really indicate an early to later release car is that the shocks on the early cars seem to be raw/natural aluminium where as later cars had plated shocks.

Thanks for the help lads at least now I know what sort of age it is

Sorry missed that bit it is the one with the bear alloy shocks

Plated shocks on the right

There was also the Procat SE, which I think had the silver coloured vari-shocks instead?

Yup and Aerodisc wheels, released in 1991.

This is it. The guy I bought it off sent me these pics I haven't had chance to take any. It has the wheels with It like the ones on the box with very perished tyres and a fair amount if spares not bad for £30 I want to clean it up and run it with a brushless setup so need a few bits trying to source a slipper for it help on that would be appreciated.

I think Northy has a Wasp Slipper available. I've sent him a message on fb.

[Peakey]

Thanks I have been thinking about adapting another one if I couldn't find one

[Northy]

I have a BNIP WASP slipper and spurs, or a used original Schumacher one.

For £30 - thats a result!! Well done!

You've already got the 2.2" Bosscat wheels - so no worries with running modern tyres & that finned aluminium rear gearbox housing is a very nice period mod to have! - an expensive part back in the day!

I've been lucky in finding a full BossCat slipper/layshaft assembly, which I might one day adapt to use a twin disk slipper assembly from a modern Schumacher.

I have also been lucky in getting a nib bosscat part built with new wheels the ones with the Procat are a bit well very tatty so I think a new set of jc wheels will be on order. I started stripping it last night and all seems pretty good for it's age so when I get some more time and money to spend on it or when my mms bits turn up I will do A bit more.
