Source for replacement SWB Cat front belt

[stephenianjames]

Hi folks,

I'm building up a SWB Cat with Fibrelyte chassis and Mr Lexan repro body, and don't have a SWB drive belt. I imagine genuine SWB Cat belts are either non-existant or being hoarded (rightfully so). I recall reading once somewhere that there is a company who can supply belts in custom pitches and lengths, fairly inexpensively.

If anyone knows either of where I could find a genuine SWB Cat front drive belt, or a suitable alternative I would be most gratefull.

BTW I'm located in Melbourne, Australia.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Hi Steve

I wonder would this fit...

A 6Z16M298045 from sdp-si.com

https://sdp-si.com/eStore/PartDetail.asp?Opener=Group&PartID=29754&GroupID=342

It's 4.5mm wide, which is a bit wider than the kit item (4mm)

or maybe this one...

Hi Kaszal,

Thankyou very much for the links. I honestly don't know what length/pitch the CAT SWB belts are, but I presume you do and that these are close?

For the few bucks they cost I'm willing to give it a shot. I'll order 1 and report back on my findings.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Steve

You're welcome!

I never had a SWB but I found the manual online...





I've done something special with my Procat...
