Anyone knows if the back brake pads on the pantera were common to any maserati?
George, Joules, reading an old post about Maserati Mesource and suspension set,I was wondering if I could also find rear brake pads there.

Bianchito,
The fronts I beleive are Maserati, the rears I'm not so sure of. Many people choose to upgrade to the Porterfield pads and feedback is generally positive on this upgrade.
The rears are product #GD-535 and they are $80.
Find them at www.porterfield-brakes.com and if you do order remember to ask them to weld on the locator tab.

Like Julian, I give a two thumbs up to the Porterfield pads. As for useless trivia, I believe the rear pads are the same as a late 70's Peugeot 505 deisel wagon.
Julian,
what do you mean by "weld them on the locator tab" ??
Thanks,
Fernando.

Fernando,
The standard Porterfield GD-535 don't have the Pantera unique (isn't everything unique on the Pantera!
) tab that stops the piston rotating for the auto adjsuting e-brake. If you tell Porterfield when placing the order they are for a Pantera they will weld the tab on the back of the pads, so you just mount them normally.
Good luck,
Julian
