I used to work at Ferrari and had a mate at Westover Sports Cars, one of our customers, who also did TVR gave me the part no. for the pads, which I then cross-referred that to a variety of cars, including the Clio V6... I got a set of OMP pads on eBay for I think, about Ł30

If you know what model Maserati they came off, try an get the part no. I remember that Ferrari 360's had a very similar looking caliper, I bet they'd be the same... Aren't MK1 Focus RS's fitted with Brembo callipers?
If in doubt, draw round the pad and see if you can get a match from a pad manufacturer...

I don't know the Maserati part no, as my dept was mainly Ferrari, but I'll try racking my brains for the 360 number and see what I can find...

Found the Ferrari number, but couldn't find much... Bound to be the same as the Focus RS, got to be worth a look, if not, Pug coop, or whatever is was that used the Brembo caliper...

Rocker Cover has come up really well!!
