Introduction0 1
BAT BATBAT BAT
BAT is pleased to be able to offer this line of components
for the U.S. specification "Merkur" XR4ti, Scorpio and the
other European models of Sierra lineage. European Sierra
models have been manufactured since 1982 and include
two versions or body styles. We will concern ourselves with
the Mark 1 as it is more similar to our U.S. version. The high
water marks of the MK1 series are the XR4i and the Sierra
Cosworth and R/S 500 models. From the exterior, XR4i is
very similar to the U.S. Merkur XR4Ti in overall looks.
However, under the hood it is powered by a 2.8L V-6 engine
where we have the 2.3L 4 cylinder turbo. The other notable
MK1 car the Cosworth Sierra is simply one of the more
outrageous vehicles Ford has ever offered. The Cosworth
starts life as a base Sierra three door body shell and adds a
high performance engine, suspension, transmission, and
aerodynamics, making it one of the fastest 4 passenger road
cars in the world. Power comes from a 2.0L Cosworth Turbo
YB series engine rated at 205 h.p. in its base form, and
upwards of 550 h.p. in modified rally form. The R/S500
homologation outgrowth of the R/S Cosworth version is
basically a de-tuned race car in street trim. Sierra MK2
versions received a sheet metal make over but share most of the mechanicals of the MK1. Interesting MK2
Sierra's include the Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, and Sierra XR 4x4 - an advanced 4 wheel drive 4 door sedan.
What all this Sierra history means to us is an abundance of specialized
performance parts, many of which bolt-on to our U.S. spec. Merkur. With
this in mind Merkur owners can make an good vehicle even better. It is
very amusing how much attention a Merkur that has been outfitted with
Ford badges and Sierra logos and Cosworth grille commands, let alone
a car equipped with the complete Cosworth body work!

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.

pC Contoured Dash Overlay just the ticket for covering up a cracked
vinyl dash pads which are so common on the XR4 & Scorpio. This moulded
plastic dash overlay is simple to install and covers up a world of sin, quickly
returning the interior to its original splendor.
note: supplied in black can be easily
painted to match interior color

NEW (for Scorpio) G323
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.

170 mph Speedometer For the owners of land based cruise
missiles we offer the original equipment Sierra Cosworth speedometer
calibrated in mph (170 in white) and kmph (270 in yellow) with re-setable
trip-meter. A slight bit of tweaking is required to fit.

150 mph Speedometer Sierra XR4's and later Merkurs came with a more
realistic 150 mph speedometer which easily replaces the American (only
calibrated to 85 mph) version.M341

not to skimp on are engine bearings. We supply only the finest ACL/Vandervell

who's name is on the box. Lead-indium bearings, not lesser reticular tin-
aluminum, are the only type you will find in quality performance engines.

exhaust related items for the XR4Ti including full systems (hi-flow down pipe,
converter and muffler) as well as cat back systems (excludes converter).
Exhaust piping and mufflers are constructed in heavy 14 gauge aluminized
tubing, converters and mufflers are straight through design for minimum
restriction. These systems are unparalleled for performance and sound great
too. The 3" down pipe can be added to standard or
Borla systems for increased
performance. We also stock the standard Ford cast iron exhaust manifolds
(which are prone to cracking) or alternate stainless tubular exhaust headers.
