pApA
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

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.
M341A
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

Cooling System (Scorpio)
In addition to our stock of cooling system components for the XR4Ti
we have added the various Scorpio related items to our inventory.
The Scorpio's cooling system is only slightly less complicated than
the XR4Ti's, it's only saving grace is the parts do not vary all that
much from year to year. Again, as with the XR4, components that
we offer are from the O.E. supplier or Ford originals.

High Temp Fyre Sleeve The under hood temperatures on the XR4Ti can
be quite severe. Slipping a length of fyre sleeve over critical wiring or rubber water
& A/C hoses will add an extra degree of protection. Fyre Sleeve provides radiant heat
protection up to 800 degrees. Sleeve is sold per foot and is sized by internal diameter.
Hoses or wiring can be disconnected at one or both ends then slipped through fyre
sleeve or sleeve can be un-stitched at the seam and wire tied in place.

Engine Mount Insulators BAT has an alternative to the recently
discontinued original equipment Ford motor mounts on the XR4Ti. Simply
remove the old motor mount assemblies, discard the worn-out rubber
portion, and reuse the top and bottom metal plates with our replacement
insulators.
Note: slight modification requires 10mm holes in plates to be
increased to 12mm. Scorpio mounts are Ford mfg. direct replacements.

pF Engine Belts H.D. Our search for the ultimate heavy duty engine
accessory v-belts lead us to the top cog "Gold Series" by Dayco. Top cog v-
belts are built to last up to 20% longer than conventional belts. A unique cogged
design increases flexibility and airflow around the belt for reduced friction and
heat. Laminated design with high temperature rated polyester cords provide
maximum tension holding (reduced slip) over the life of the belt.

Engine Components
Utilizing a design similar to the earlier German
2000 OHC "Pinto" engine the 2300 "Lima" en-
gine eventually replaced the 2000 OHC in most
North American Ford 4 cylinder vehicles from
1974 on. Built for lower maintenance with the
addition of hydraulic lash
adjusters the 2300
was designed to
operate in a lower
RPM range using
its larger displace-
ment and in-
creased torque to
its best advan-
tage. Perfor-
mance turbo-
charged versions
of the 2300 began
to appear in 1979 in
the Mustang/Capri and continued through the
80's in a more refined and powerfull EFI turbo
version. A reduced bore 2000 displacement
"Ranger" truck engine (from 1983-87) was also
produced. Some late production "Lima" engines
are equipped with hydraulic roller cam and valve
train, and other versions use dual spark plug
cylinder heads. The 2300 is a fairly rugged
engine in its stock form, however some compo-
nents will require up-rating with performance
components if high RPM duty is required. The
"Lima" series turbo and normally aspirated en-
gines respond quite well with a bit of perfor-
mance tuning and though lacking in refinement
do give quite a bit of bang for the buck.

Transmission & Related Components
pHShifter- A serious short throw competition gear lever
featuring a robust large diameter shaft placed within a
spherical bearing. The all metal construction will cause
additional transmitted noise but this is a small penalty to
pay against the strength, speed and quality of the gear
change achieved. M717
pIGear Oil- Torco synthetic gear oil is designed to
withstand tremendous heat and provide extreme anti-
score protection under high torque "shock loading"
conditions. That is why most Indy car and drag race teams
rely on Torco protection. Torco SAE 75w90 gear oil is GL-
6 rated and includes limited slip additives. Great for both
transmission and differential applications. Torco synthetic
gear oil greatly improves the shift "feel" of T9 transmission,
shifting becomes light and precise, almost like a tune-up in
a bottle. Notes: transmission will require 2 quarts (2.25 to
3.34 pint capacity depending on year) and rear axle 1 quart
(1.6 pint capacity) Gear oil not for T5 transmissions (use
ATF type fluid). C2S
pJQuadrant & Pawl Kit- When the clutch pedal "ratchet
adjuster" wears out it contributes to poor pedal feel and an
annoying clicking noise. Renewing the quadrant and pawl with
this handy kit will alleviate the problem. M368
pK Rebuilt T9 Transmissions- Highest quality factory
certified remanufactured T9 transmissions with European
gear ratios (3.65:1, 1.97:1, 1.37:1, 1.00:1, 0.82:1). M700

pG Short Shift Kit- If anything can be added to enhance
the "link" between driver and transmission while rowing through
the gears on the XR4 or Scorpio 5-speed this is it. We have a
dynamite quick shift kit that fits standard T9 Hummer transmis-
sions. If you like the shifter "feel" on Hurst equipped Mustang
GT, this kit offers similar results. Customers often remark that
this shift kit is one of the best modifications that they have made
to their cars, especially considering the price and ease of
installation. Just think about how many gear changes you make
in a day, let alone a week, or year. Shouldn't every shift be quick,
light and precise? M715
