Milano ABS.....It could be worse

In my quest for substitue parts for the Milano ABS system, I discovered that the Ferrari 328 uses the same ABS. So just for kicks I found an online ferrari parts store and looked up the price of an abs pump. This is the one which you can get for ~$350 for a Buick Reatta. Go to www.ricambiamerica.com and search for part number 70000772.....$2050 each.

Maybe the Ferrari ones are made by the really special German elves at Teves

Yup. Also in the 348, as well as early F355's.

Stop complaining. The last ones in the original Alfa boxes were close to $1500 from Alfa Parts. That was nearly ten years ago. Ask me how I know that.
