  1. I have an 84 efi XE and I'm interested to know what head I have as I'm not sure if its the original or not and there is no identification anywhere between 1st and second intake. I have search everywhere for a pic of c1 e2 ect.. but can't find one would be good if someone could post pics. Thanks.


  2. (alloy road wheels) were ordered as an optional extra with this car and the

    varified 5.5x14s for xe ive seen but 6x14s offered by ford i have not. Vdo im sure you categorially remember what was not on my car but do you remember what was?

    Also various factory ford wheels are also available "after market roh globe ect ect performace is just another brand right?


  3. They are not globe volantes and if you look closer you will notice they only have 18 spokes that are machined flat as apposed to the 20 on globe volantes.

    Im thinkin if there were a part number it might be under rubber.

    I have the full xe zk fd repair manual that states that there was an option of an alloy road wheel 14×5.5 And 14×6 the later probs being the wheels in question my guess is the 5.5 maybe dont fit with rear disc lsd


  4. The bloke I bought this car from was 100% they are the wheels on it from new when he got it also the 04784 cast in the back seems to be a date which is also the build date on the cars compliance plates.

    Ive seen similar wheels on zl,zk,xd fairmont even some xe i think there called alloy road wheels or globe volante 14×5.5 but they had 2 extra spokes and mine are 14×6 and a bit more of a lip. Maybe has to do with mine havin disc brakes?...dunno.

    They are also different offset from front to back and some mad scrapeage on one in the inside from where someones mixed em up which is not ideal.
