Caliper Repair Kit -w/piston Ford caliper repair kits are
an economical way to service a leaking or "sticky" caliper. Fitting
this kit, after honing the piston bore, will cure most caliper related
problems. (kit does 1 caliper)M420K4A

Performance Street Brake Pad Set Premium
Mintex A/F series brake pads will give enhanced brake perform
over a wide temperature range with very little brake dusting.
Mintex pads also incorporate the pad warning sensor wiring.
This is the abusolute best performing street pad we have tested
and for the price they are a steal.

Racing Brake Pad Sets Mintex 1144 is a rally/race pad
that is perfectly at home on track or street, offering a high coefficient
of drag (.44) and excellent modulation throughout a very wide
operating range (up to 1200 degrees). Mintex 1144 is supplied pre-
burnished for easy break-in and minimal fade on the first heating
cycle. Both fade resistance and wear characteristics are excellent.
Mintex pads are the only racing brake pads to incorporate the
standard "low pad" sensor wiring. Match a set of these pads with our
drilled or grooved sport rotors and Aeroquip stainless brake lines for
a substantial increase in braking performance.

pF Cross Drilled Front Rotors Cross-drilling brake
rotors is an excellent way to increase brake performance.
Theory being that centrifugal force will draw excess brake
dust and expelled gasses from the pad surface through the
drilled passages into the rotors vented cavity and out. This
process also improves rotor cooling giving improved braking
response and resistance to fade. Our drilled brake rotors
are made from Carballoy (a medium flake graphite fully
pearlitic low phosphorous iron) manufactured to BS 1452
- 1990 grade 180/220 standard. The cross drilling process
is handled by computer CNC milling equipment with holes
arranged in a parabolic pattern giving an even sweeping
effect to the pad surface ensuring maximum cooling with
minimum noise and drag. M425CD

Aeroquip Brake Lines One of the more effective brake
modifications you can make 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 the XR4 & Scorpio brake system. Our stainless
lines are assembled from genuine Aeroquip AN-3 hose with
premium metric "reusable" (not the lesser quality "swaged" type)
hose ends installed. XR4Ti (state year) M419

items (brake shoes, wheel cylinders & small parts kit)
required for a complete rear brake overhaul, and all at a very

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.

hand brake cable assemblies for both the XR4Ti and Scorpio.

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.

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.

Performance Brake Kits Engineered competition brake kits for the
ultimate in stopping power.
pC Front R/S Brake Kit (283 x 24mm)
BAT R/S "big brake" kit allows larger 11.25" (285mm) 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.

285 x 24mm vented (standard or cross-drilled) rotors, Mintex 1144 brake pad
set, caliper mounting brackets & hardware (fitment with most 15" wheels -
some require slight modification)

Cosworth Sierra Steering Wheel This sporty 3 spoke design
leather wrapped steering wheel is standard factory issue on the Sierra
Cosworth and RS500 models. The smaller wheel diameter (13.9 inch) helps
make the steering ratio more effective and the fatter rim grip offers both comfort
and control. Wheel is available in black and included center horn button with
Ford logo and horn symbol.M322
pB Cosworth Sapphire Steering Wheel This 3 spoke leather wrapped
wheel from the Sierra Sapphire 4x4 steering wheel is a departure on the
original Coswoth version. It's wider center spokes are positioned lower for
comfortable hand position and a better view of the instrumentation. The smaller
wheel diameter (13.9 inch) helps make the steering ratio more effective and the
fatter rim grip offers both comfort and control. Wheel is available in black and
included center horn button with Ford logo and horn symbol.M322A
Standard Horn Button for the standard XR4 steering wheel we have the
European "Ford" oval logo horn button. Just the thing for finishing the interior
off while fitting Ford logos to the exterior.

painted to match interior color

pD White Gauge Face Set Colored gauges are quite the rage. They add
a very unique look to the interior, and are easy to read in daylight or when
illuminated at night. We have a gauge face kit that will replace the standard
(black) speedo, tach/boost, fuel and water temp, gauges and indicator lamps
with a thick self adhesive mylar faces that are white in color. These gauge
faces are manufactured specially for BAT by a original equipment instrument
supplier to Ford, GM, Vauxhall so quality is outstanding. They illuminate from
the rear "back light", just as the standard gauges, and will not opaque with age
like typical cheap reproductions will. An added benefit of our gauge face kit
is the speedo is calibrated beyond 85mph all the way to 150mph. Updating
earlier cars with 85mph speedos is a snap.

condition any longer, we have new Ford European replacements in stock.

pE Pedal Pads The next time you give your cars interior a good detailing
don't forget the finishing touches. New pedal pads not only improve the
look of any interior, but are much safer too. Also it's not a bad idea to
replace pedal pads right before entering a car show or selling a vehicle
as smart buyers and judges will commonly check the pad wear as an
indicator of how (hard) the car is driven.

pF Rear Hatch Lift Struts Have you resorted to using a wooden
broomstick as a prop rod to hold up the rear hatch on your car ? If you
answered yes you are a definite candidate for new hatch lift struts. XR4's
and Scorpios have heavy rear lift gates (hatches) and when one or both lift
struts are worn forget about having the thing stay up, let alone raise up slowly
and unassisted as when they were new. BAT has new German manufac-
tured lift strut replacements guaranteed to keep things on the up and up.

adhesive backing that should keep it attached for another 10 years.
