        Should be easy enough ... theres a good few companies down here in Glasgow that do them if you cant do it yourself .. even getting it re-cored will be half the stealers prices

                  Hey Jim do the Cat mini's have that crappy sliding door like the bigger zero tail swing machines? I was running a Cat 314CL yesterday and it had the sliding door but every time I have to operate a Cat zero tail swing they have that sliding door but it always opens and closes like it's got sand or dirt in the rollers. The Kobelco's have a sliding type door but the one I ran last year opened really nicely.
