pA Front Brake Special 260 x 24mm
This kit is just the thing for replacing the standard size, wear related,
front brake components. We supply high quality Euro specification
rotors and premium Mintex brake pads for either XR4 or Scorpio and
at a special price as compared to buying items separately.

BAT R/S Front Brake Kit (283 x 24mm) XR4ti
BAT R/S Brake Kit allows larger 11.25" (283mm) Cosworth brake
rotors to be fitted with standard XR calipers. Increasing rotor "swept
area" in this way will greatly improve stopping power (leverage) and
help to reduce high brake temperatures that can cause premature
brake fade and poor pedal feel. Kits are available in 4 different
component levels from as little as $295.00, which leaves you no
reason not to upgrade to larger brakes.
Kits include: 285 x 24mm
vented (standard or cross-drilled) rotors, Mintex brake pad set
(standard or M1144), caliper mounting brackets & hardware (fitment
with most 15" and larger wheels -some require modification or
spacers)
Front R/S Brake Kit (283 x 24mm) M417
includes standard rotors, standard Mintex pads, brackets & hardware
Front R/S Brake Kit (283 x 24mm) M417A
includes X-drilled rotors, standard Mintex pads, brackets & hardware
Front R/S Brake Kit (283 x 24mm) M418
includes standard rotors, M1144 Mintex pads, brackets & hardware
Front R/S Brake Kit (283 x 24mm) M418A
includes X-drilled rotors, M1144 Mintex pads, brackets & hardware
pC BAT/Wilwood Front Brake Kit (283 x 24mm) XR4ti
This kit combines the performance of the larger 283mm Cosworth rotor
with Wilwood 4 piston Superlite 2A calipers which are extremely ridged
and transfer torque directly without unwanted flex. Construction is
aluminum with stainless pistons for both weight savings and maximum
head dissipation. At just 5 lbs. they are also much lighter than stock
calipers. This goes a long way to reducing "unsprung" weight benefiting
both braking and handling performance.
Kit includes: 285 x 24mm
vented rotors, 4-piston alloy Wilwood Superlite IIA calipers with pads
and aeroquip brake hoses (fitment with most 15" and larger wheels -
some require modification or spacers)

pD
BAT/Wilwood Front Brake Kit (300 x 24mm) XR4ti
This kit combines even larger 300mm Cosworth rotor with Wilwood
4 piston Billet Dynalite for the ultimate big brake kit. Calipers are
extremely ridged and transfer torque directly without unwanted
flex and are made from aluminum with stainless pistons for both
weight savings and maximum head dissipation. At just 4 lbs. they
are also much lighter than stock calipers. This goes a long way to
reducing "unsprung" weight benefiting both braking and handling
performance.
Kit includes: 300 x 24mm vented rotors , 4-piston
alloy Wilwood Billet Dynalite calipers with pads and aeroquip
brake hoses (fitment with some 15" & most 16" and larger wheels
-some require modification or spacers)

small parts, springs and other attaching hardware for the rear
drum brakes. One kit does both hand sides.M420K5
Rear Brake Special Our rear brake special has all the
items (brake shoes, wheel cylinders & small parts kit)
required for a complete rear brake overhaul, and all at a very
attractive price.M420RSPL

Rear Disk Brake Kit Converting to rear disk brakes
could not be any easier than with our ventilated rear disk
conversion kit. Not only will braking performance be greatly
improved but servicing the friction material (pads) becomes a
much easier task than messing with the old shoes. Kit incudes:
calipers & mounting plates, vented 260mm rotors, brake lines,
hand brake cables, and assorted hardware.M420RK
Note: see price list for individual listings on service parts for
above rear disk brake kit.
XR4 & Scorpio Hand Brake Cables We have replacement
hand brake cable assemblies for both the XR4Ti and Scorpio.
These have been recently discontinued by Ford USA.

Rear Wheel Cylinder Backing plates should be checked
periodically for brake fluid drips or a damp spot at the bottom (a sure
sign of a leaky wheel cylinder). We recommend (and sell) only new
replacement wheel cylinders because of the high incidence of
failure found with re-manufactured units.M420WC
pB Rear Brake Shoes Our premium quality rear brake shoes
are supplied as either European Motorcraft or Mintex brand. Both
are new (non re-manufactured) high quality semi-metallic
replacement linings, not the typical "white box specials".
Note:
fitting reman rear shoes can be a problem as most we have seen
have thicker than standard bonded linings making it difficult, if not
impossible, to reinstall the drum.

Rear Brake Drum Brake drums that are warped or
beyond minium specification for wear should be replaced.
New rear brake drums are sold each.M420RD
pC
Rear Brake Drum (Grooved) These rear drums offer
an extra degree of braking performance not found when
using standard rear drums. Drums have 12 spiral grooves
for maximum cooling and deglazing effect. Grooved drums
are sold in handed pairs.M420RDG
pD
Aeroquip Rear Brake Lines One of the more effective
brake modifications you can make to the XR4 & Scorpio is to
replace the standard brake hoses with Aeroquip steel braided lines.
These performance brake hoses incorporate a teflon interior to
keep line expansion "flexing" to a minimum. This greatly reduces
the "spongy" pedal feel common to most brake systems. Our
stainless lines are assembled from genuine Aeroquip AN-3 hose
with premium metric "reusable" (not the lesser quality "swaged"
type) hose ends installed.

Racing Brake Fluid Not all brake fluid is created equally. High
operating temperatures at the caliper transfers extreme heat through the piston
causing lesser quality brake fluid to boil. This in turn allows the fluid to become
compressed and reduces overall braking performance. The best way to
counter this from happening is to use a racing specification, mineral (never
synthetic) brake fluid and flush the system after each event for competition or
annually on performance street driven vehicles. Both AP550 and Wilwood 570
brake fluid is DOT approved with a dry boiling point of 550-570 degrees, low
viscosity minimizes aeration and permits easy bleeding.
