Thanks for all the info. I've got a piece of lexan at my shop that I'm going to try and cut out to replace the bottom glass. See how it goes. If it doesn't fit then i'll go to another option. There's a guy in town that has a same 315, same year range so I can get some measurements from his to see how close they are. I don't have the machine in my possession yet, I close on it in two weeks, so i'll get to looking it all over much better once I get it to my shop.
On a different note, I finally heard back from one of the parts guys at the closest CAT dealer to me. He was much more helpful than the previous one I talked to there that told me he couldn't do anything for a grey market machine. This guy was willing to help and I have a Japanese parts manual shipping to my house from CAT within the week. $109 for the parts manual. He said they can print any manual you need. If anyone does need pages for a 312 grey market on the parts side, let me know and I can send pictures or scans once I get the manual.
As for the thumb valve foot pedal, CAT quoted it at $430. Pricey.
