I fitted the new rear beam stiffening upgrade to my Wild Cat on the weekend that became class legal on 1st October. I have been complaining of the platform not being stiff and I must say that this upgrade is amazing and has solved the problem that I had. It was also obvious when I removed the inserts that were in there, that the platform has been twisting so much, that they were split and cracked.

So what I am saying is get your hands on this kit, as it improved my Wild Cat performance and feels a completely different boat.

Hello there;

Wonderful idea brilliant!!! :)

Are these made from aluminium or are they stainless steel? Could you please tell me the wall thickness it looks like 1"x2" material. Am thinking of making some for my Tiger as it also has flex notable in the platform.

Thanks in advance
Clarence
