I'm not familiar with the BV400 exactly... can you post some pictures and dimensions of where the cat is supposed to go? i recently put an earthstove 1002c in my basement and had no problems finding parts for it. I purchased a Firecat cat off amazon, replaced the door gasket, fabricated a new door lock and gave it a once over. new bricks are next (got a couple that are pieced together). You should be able to find parts for that insert.
i don't want to step on anyone's toes by posting this link but here it goes... http://woodheatstoves.com/retainer-cat-box1003-p-7586.html?cPath=424_745_608
I think that's the right cat holder, double check the dimensions . find the cat model you need and search it on amazon. expect the cat to run around 200$, the holder around 50$.
