Hi I'm interested in the Ford Racing head, is your head M-6049-ZX3P?
-
That thought was running through my mind last night. My car has the master kill switch on LH side of bulkhead so all voltage is off?
-
I guess it’s possible that I have a partial grounding issue, but all the lights are functioning well? I could remove the grounding wires and clean and reattach just as a preventive precaution. I know Ford had issues with the Mustang hood due to contamination of iron oxide causing blistering. Maybe my car was poorly prep at factory in this area causing the corrosion? I would like to chat with Magnus about his issues and resolutions!

Car only has 500 miles on it and is a garage queen. It;s only been wash twice, never seen a rain drop..
-
No, on brass or copper in the general area, maybe 15 feet away I have some copper tubing. Blisters started last year, treated by sanding and brushing with new stainless steel brush and then epoxy primer then paint/clear coat. Paint supplier said that epoxy would work better than zinc chrome-mate?

My car is a 2002 SV. I started having blisters popping up on the rear aluminum panel in the area of spare tire. Has anyone had this issue, and if so what did you do to solve the problem.
-
Sorry, I had to go check my folder on what was done. What we did was place a 8-10 ohm's resistor on the led light wire. Not a diode!! http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/gt40mirage/media/CopyofP1010256_zps0cbacfaa.jpg.html

Yes very familiar with that problem, being that your selling the car you may not want to but you can easley fix that with a diode attach to the light wire. I found that the led’s can’t handle 12V’s coming from alternator. You can see the diode attach to the bottom of the aluminum bracket off the back of my alternator. http://usa7s.com/vb/C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Cars\Super_seven_sv\Alternator Cheers!!

I second the issue on customer service with Caterham USA, needed to order parts for the SV called left numerous messages; finely three days later they called back and left a message. Makes me think I should sell my car?

Wheel Alignment for Radial Slicks on Track Caterham
BlueMax replied to blubarisax's topic in General Tech
I would say that the setup would be different for each track; IE LH turns versa RH turns. Taking tire temps consistently across the contact patch all while trying to keep the tire from blistering is what you’re trying to achieve. -

Thanks guys, Its always good to here form fellow Zetec owners. I’m still looking for the head at this current time. If anyone here’s of one that’s used or new I would be interested to here back from you. I mess around focusing on the Bugeye project and let them slip by not knowing that Ford had plans to discontinue them.

Congratulations, your wait will be worth while for sure. Same color as my SV, from the looks of the tachometer the engine is already running!!
