Catman's reproduction manifolds= Awesomeness!!!!!!!

[Catmatt]

Attached are pics of the reproduction intake manifold for the big caterpillar twenty. This was the weakest link in the design of the machine as most of the original manifolds are cracked and destroyed. Catman from the UK reproduced this manifold to specs even better than the original caterpillar specs. The workmanship is awesome and the manifold is shipped ready to be installed. He also made other cat twenty manifold parts too and intends to make others for his friends. Even the shipping packaging for the manifold was a work of art and I wish I had photos to share of that as it had a long journey across the pond.

Because of Catman and his ability to reproduce and make this part and generously share this, my brother and I will be able to restore the first caterpillar we ever bought at age 15, which currently has a homemade intake manifold.

It must be nice to have it on the Kitchen Counter. All reports of Catmans work are Top Notch, Looking forward to the 30 Manifold I have coming.

Catmatt,
Thanks for posting the pics, and there is no doubt about the workman ship that goes into casting these antique parts from Catman! :thumb:
That's a great job for sure, good luck with your project!
Mike.

You won't be disappointed, Steve. All the parts Catman has made for me have been flawless.

Catmatt, I got that same manifold too - only for my No.9 Auto Patrol which uses the same engine as the big Twenty. It even came with the high-temp finish already on it!:thumb:
