SCse7en Posted May 2, 2024 Share Posted May 2, 2024 The alternator thread got me thinking...... Did all of the Caterham cars with alternators have a metal heat shield over the top of them? I have seen photos of those in place. Mine is missing if anyone has one for sale in the USA. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted May 2, 2024 Share Posted May 2, 2024 Based on what I've seen, Cat doesn't add a heat shield. Some alternators come with them and some aftermarket suppliers offer them separately depending on the model of alternator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamScotticus Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 (edited) I don't want to be the guy who says, look what I have, and is no help at all. But for educational purposes, I happen to have this shield that came with the car. Mine is what appears to be made of a fiberous material, like asbestos. Or something known to the state of California to cause cancer. I think my gas station hot dog had a label that said California cancer ingredients. Sorry, I don't know where it came from or where to get one now. Edited May 6, 2024 by IamScotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
