No, I havn't been over run by mice.

A mate, or rather my guvnor's mate, is building a kit using a Honda engine and is in need of a cat.

Never fitted one myself so I have no idea what people use or where to buy one from.

Any ideas chaps?


Cheers

A lot (particularly with a mate like you to make a can to put it in!!) of folks just get a cat from the scrappy (from a very late car so it's likely to be good) then just cut it out of its can and weld it into a new one on the (front) end of the "sevenesque silencer".

I can't imagine this bloke in a scrappy.

It's a Dax, ST 2000 engine & g/box, so "loads a money".

This all started when the g/box appeared on my bench at work. Cut a segment out
of the bell housing and weld a bit in. Do it in works time I was told.
Now my guvnor turns the gas off to flip his eggs, so this bloke must be a realy good
mate, or maybe it's a case of blackmail.

So, I think he's after a nice ready made stainless jobbie, looks more important than
price, if you get my drift.

Having seen the pics of your welding on various cans, i can't imagine he'll be faulting your work...........................!!

But I see what you mean!

Best to speak to Caterh*m then and get a catted system from them!

http://www.blackthorn.eu.com/index.htm or get a new one from a car parts shop and make a new box for it.

I can't imagine that c/van would sell one that fits.
I think I've probably got to do the pipe work.... but I do have an ulterior motive.

I'm in need of some ally sheet for my bodywork. Know what I mean?


Paul G

Thanks Pete.

I've printed it off and will show it to him tomorrow.

I'll let him get a price.


Any more?

Caterham do a nice little cat unit that goes in front of the main silencer on their CSR model.

Works on a 260 hp duratec engine so shouldn't struggle too much with the 240 hp honda!!!!!!!

If money isn't a problem then why reinvent the wheel?

look in front of the silencer on this pic (yes I know it's not a CSR but that is similar!)

I still havn't found a cat that's suitable.

I realy need a short fat one, if you'll pardon the expression.


Has anyone fitted one? About 150 o/d, say 250 long?

Please, please, pritty please.

Cheers

Mr 907 - did you get anywhere with this?

After a small round can myself.

Best I've found are these on ebay for £150.

Hi Pat,

Yup, Steve has come up with the goods (tadltd). Looks a great bit of kit.
I'll have a go at it over the hols.

Thanks for thinking of me though. That looks good as well.

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Have you got a pic of said item?

Or are you gonna come up with a nice simple looking one with 2" inlet and outlet that you might as well make 2 of

Cheers,

Pat...

This is similar to the one I supplied to 907:

Hope that helps.
