Im surprised no one has found/made/had made for them an alternative. I think someone started making lightened flywheels cause they are no longer available.... a project for someone... Not quite there yet! Hopefully someone will come up with a solution before I get to that bit. Unless of course someone already has!

Miss Jones - I think tht means someone is working on it ! - hopefully ready by the time you will need them
BTW - I see Jeff Penfold's catches went for £246 - which sounds like a lot to me but they are getting rarer.

For those who are unaware, the club are currently exploring the possibility of having these made by a fabrication company. They've had access to an example and have come up with a possible way forward - as you can imagine, it's complicated with having a cast base and pressed moving parts. We're waiting for them to get back to us with prices/options, and hopefully they won't be too expensive given the relatively small numbers involved.
Is the quote for Stratos spec. over centre catches Norm? As in, cut down and re-drilled.Originally Posted by Normb666
Not copies of the standard unmodified X1/9 roof catch.
Correctamundo, Chris. You'll still need to sort your own spacer blocks to go between the catches and the body though.
It wouldn't take a lot to make a mould for those
Kits end up with variable thickness blocks, from car to car, but the original cars would have one set size/thickness.
With the remanufactured catches, the bulk of the cost will be in tooling for the steel parts.
