Hi guys.
Just thought i'd pop a few pictures on of my Restored Raleigh Wildcat. How many of these are left out there?? A few of you may have seen it at the Raleigh Rally earlier in the year.
I originaly bought it to pinch a few bit from for my Vektar resto (pedals, stand and brakes mainly). After doing this i left it in the garage as it was too good to scrap. I then came across another going cheap and decided what the hell and bought that one too. I stripped both completly and made the best one i could out of the 2. All i need to make them perfect is a better condition seat and a transfer for the 'noise maker' on the bars. (which does work much to the annoyance of many others!).
So if anyone has or knows the whereabouts of either of these items please give me a shout!

In bits!

Restored and looking good at the Raleigh Rally 2007

You ought to post these pics up on the raleighburner.com forum under 'Other Raleighs' section.

Thanks Guys. I'll do just that!  
I'll have a think about what to do with the spare frame and bits i've got and keep you posted.

Hi Guys,

Its taken me a while but thanks to a helpfull user on the Burner forum, i have at last managed to locate a NOS control panel complete with transfer for my Wildcat!  

I have also managed to locate some replica pedals from the USA so all i need now is a mint original seat?

Anyone got one

I'm sure someone was try to sell one on eBay wrongly as an XL seat.

I think this was the one for sale on eBay.

They are a strange seat. They look similar to a Vektar one but the have writing along the back edge and are slightly smaller.
Theres a Wildcat on ebay now but the picture showing the seat isn't very clear. I've mailed him to check.

dont think its a wildcat seat either as it should come with the seat post attached.

Have to get my Wild cat seat out of the shed.  Think its in good condition.  If it is ok, I can post it if you give postal charge.  Would that be 2 or 3 £?

Not sure Alec. Just have a look for it and give me a shout bud.
Dont mind what the postage costs are really although i wouldn't have thought it to be too pricey to post.
I've got a set of wildcat forks (and frame) too if you need them for one of your projects?
