Urgently looking for front brake pad pins

2007 4.2 auto QPV. The front brake pad pins on the near side have become 'welded' into the calliper. They needed to be forcibly removed.

I can only find 'brake pad kits' for £300+ at the normal Maserati parts sites. I only need the 2 pins. Does anyone know who makes these pins and what other vehicles they are used for?

Many thanks

The pads are shared with a few other cars.

I would try this, check the lengths and diameter.

This is for 6 piston front calipers. 4.2 QPs have 4 piston calipers.

The existing pins are 100mm x 5mm.

The Maserati community have been very helpful and suggested these which use the same front brakes


The alternative is £300+ for the kit, so I will order and report back.

Interesting. They did the same as me and got a different result. The RRS is listed as using the same pad, and so, theoretically the same caliper. I will standby for the result.

The Range Rover Sport pins are 95mm long. The Maserati ones are 100mm. These CLK are also 100mm.

If you go on the brakes international web site and search under Maserati quattroporte front disc pads you will see that they list various fitting kits of different dimensions including 100mm x 5.
