The sig gens work well, and they have the same plug fitting as the scope, so the same PSU can be used. Its not very clear which way the electrolytic capacitors are fitted on the board, I think if I remember correctly the -ve leg goes to the shaded part on the circuit board mimic. Use a google search photo just to make sure. Also when soldering the potentiometers, they have to be seated as close to the PCB as possible or the knob will foul on the box lid.
I will be checking the wheel bearings when I do the discs. I have ordered some new stake nuts for them.

Well the scope tells me there are no faulty signals from the reluctors, so I am thinking its time to look elsewhere. I have a mate who is very local and breaks 75s and ZT's he is a goldmine of parts and usually has in any spares I need. He also does carry a few new bits in stock too...he found a new lower engine mount for a tenner for me and when I needed some injectors, he was just throwing a couple of V6 engines away, so he told me to help myself. Got a few spare rails, seals and injectors. Top man!
I will be replacing the rear discs and pads tomorrow, so will check the rear bearings out at the same time.

My mate is a guy called David Bourne he is based in Staffordshire near to Uttoxeter. He was breaking a few ZT's and 75s last time I went up for bits, although he is finding them rarer to acquire now. He has a good selection of bits about him. I will be calling on him tomorrow as he has some nice nearly new tyres he is selling me.
I replaced the rear discs today and also fitted new pads and shoes and clocked the old discs, one was running 0.2mm out, which I thought was a bit on the high side, new discs are all running at under 0.1 mm now. Not as good as my TF but I think they will be ok at that.
I also removed the rear hubs and cleaned the ABS sensors and reluctor rings. Re fitting the hubs I managed to get one of the bearings to tighten up a little more as shown by the position of the dent in the stake nut. I had to re use the nuts temporarily as my replacements had not arrived. I did not swap them, as I rebuilt each side before stripping the other side down. New nuts will be fitted asap.
I know this is a F and TF forum, but some of this info about the ABS signalling is relevant to our cars so I am hoping that some peeps are getting some useful data from my quest to clear up my ZT's ABS issue.
I have not yet test driven the car yet, as it was getting on, so will see if there is an improvement tomorrow. The handbrake certainly is felling a lot more useful even without bedding it in!
