Hi,
I thought I would order a spare up as I needed some other bits and remembered that rhe volvo v70r uses the same TB so then searched for thw volvo gasket which looks identical.
Would anyone know if this gasket is indeed the same?
I ask as I called maranellos and they said the part is no longer available so I thought its likely a good idea to find an alternative.
Thanks in advance for any clarity on this!

Yes I supply the Volvo gaskets free with all my throttle bodies and can confirm that the previous post is showing the right part number 31430474

Don't the Maserati genuine throttle body gaskets have adhesive applied that bonds when the engine gets up to temperature for the first time?

Not sure if there is any functional difference between the Volvo and Maserati gaskets.

Yes and they are a royal pain in the *** when you try to clean them off :).
Not convinced they are stronger or generally better in any particular way, The Volvo ones seem very nicely made and don't make a goey mess of the face of the throttle body, so I prefer them.
