benjam Member 137 Member For: 20y 1m 8d Location: Sydney NSW Posted 14/10/05 02:08 AM Share Posted 14/10/05 02:08 AM Hi all,Noticed at the motor show last night for the BF it has these little black plastic caps covering the centre of two of the pulleys in the engine bay. Would these be new for the BF? I have a Mk1 and haven't seen them before in any engine pics posted by forum user before. Check out the pic with bodgey arrows. I wonder if it just hides the rust or actually protects the metal. Doesn't look air/water tight. I phoned my local Ford parts dept to see if I could get some and they hadn't heard of them yet. What do you guys think, waste of time or something useful? Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20707-finer-details/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be just on the motor show cars to hide the rust.

I work in a plastics factory so it wont be a big hastle. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20707-finer-details/#findComment-304870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
