Cat Brake caliber

[crazycarts4us]

Can anyone tell me what brand of brake caliber was used on some mini bikes without drum brake. Thank you for your time

Thanks John ! I know there is some aftermarket brands out there and want something that will work without any modification.

Found a KH 210 but I don't know what the difference is !

If you strike out on a K-H caliper, this link shows what you have to do to adapt a "modern" caliper to fit. Takes a while to get to fit right.

That was a awesome read. Just need patience and time. I am taking every part when time permits and cleaning, stripping and shining up. Thank you for the valuable info.

Ok so I now have a K&H caliber and some parts for it. Seems like a simple design ! I am in no rush but if someone can send me a closeup or a parts diagram when site is repaired that would be awesome.

Anyone have a close up photo ? Thank You

Can anyone tell me what the stock brand or brands of throttle controls are for the cat 400x and other models. Mach 1 OKG Belton ? Thank you

They used a black plastic throttle mechanism. I don't know that a name has ever been pinpointed. Here's a pic. They did use the Cross branded Gran Turismo Grips

 

[crazycarts4us]

Awesome thank you.

 

[capguncowboy]

To add to this, they DID use a slightly different version on the early bikes. Notice it doesn't have the ridges on the plastic portion like the later version. Perhaps they added that for looks or maybe that was a weak spot for the originals.

 

[crazycarts4us]

It seems like all the pictures I view have different ones on them even stock photos. I picked up a 400x that looks original and must have had the throttle one replaced. Will add photos when I get home tonight

 

[capguncowboy]

Yeah, the plastic throttles are a hard to find in good shape. These were bikes for kids. They were rough on them and the plastic pieces (and a lot of the metal pieces) didn't survive the rides.

Found some new old stock originals in plastic. Now grip decision time.
