I've been on AutoDoc. Will these do the job?
- A.B.S. 9334, otherwise RIDEX 70B0394 (https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/handbrake-shoes-10134/maserati/quattroporte/quattroporte-v/17882-4-2?categories[]=1419). It's not clear to me if there is 1 or 2 in a set. I assume I would need to order two sets for the rears?

- Will order the Ferodo FDB1512 pads. Same as above, is this for a set or do I need to order two?

Thanks
9334 is correct. I just checked and they were £15 plus postage when I ordered in 2021.

Anyone knows if there are alternative parts for 2011 4.7 S Auto pulleys and tensioner:

1) Tightening pulley 226205
2) Maserati Belt Tensioner M-224178
3) Maserati Belt Tensioner Pulley With BM 172537

I trust that for the last one - 172537 -Alfa 1.9JTD has same one i.e.: SKF: VKM 32006 or GATES: T36006

Anyone knows if there is an alternative for 1 and 2?

Thanks

Update:
1) Tightening pulley 226205 is actually same as SKF: VKM 32006 - pulley I took off my GT was also SKF (just with Maserati part number) - replaced with SKF: VKM 32006 works 100%
2) Maserati Belt Tensioner Pulley With BM 172537 is same as Dayco APV2159 - pulley I took off my GT was also Dayco with same diameters 60/25/17
3) Maserati Belt Tensioner M-224178 - I replaced with genuine part, but will give it to someone who works at the parts dealer - he might find what it actually came from. The part I took off my GT is Dayco branded

Cheers for the advice. Will look at Autodoc and into the Ferodo pads.

Yes Eurospares it was!

I replaced the shoes and brake discs - the squeak has gone. The issue was the shoe was damaged on the rear driver side and damaged the brake disc.
FYI, the brake pads ordered from AutoDoc (Ferodo FDB1512) did not fit the the QPV.

This is a thread for alternative parts, where people post details of parts they have found will replace OEM. This kind of thing needs its own thread please.
Well, that's why I came to this thread, looking for alternative parts to order to fix my handbrake. Not sure what was more off-topic about my comment than other discussion in this thread.

He means only post on this thread when you know what the alternative part is. A confirmed alternative part.

Then it doesnt get cluttered with questions asking if there is an alternative part for something. Which makes it harder to trawl through the entire thread for parts information that may not be there.

The part number for the handbrake shoes is 10 posts up from here.

What was off topic was that it was asking for something which is already available. The majority of the posts above yours have alternative part numbers.

This is all about the (ultimately doomed) attempt to keep the site as tidy as possible.

Definitely worth trying to keep the site tidy.

We're all with you Torre, in your quest for affordable parts and maintenance service, so please don't be put off. Zep and the rest of us just want this to be a compact thread where we can look up parts that we need.

I just had a thought, unless i already missed the link...I am going to catalogue all of the parts mentioned in this thread separated by type (engine, brakes, etc) in table format then put up a web link that we can all click on to see a full list. This will be quicker than reading all 12 pages of this thread (current page count).

Like this:

ENGINE

Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)

BRAKES

Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)

BODY

Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)
Part number ---- Description ---- Alternative supplier ----- alternative supplier part number ------ price ------ date ----- comment (quality, fit etc)

ETC
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless there is another way? Like a excel spreadsheet we can all use? If not i'll do the link. It might take me a little while, but I will try and complete over the next month or so.

There's been various versions of a spreadsheet like that. I may still have the version that I maintained.
