Searching air filters for Ferrari 412

For the spring service of my 412 I plan to change the two air filters (Ferrari no. 126150). The filters are produced by UFI (UFI no. 30.897.00) and to my knowledge only used on the 412. I have some problems getting the filters!

My Ferrari dealer doesn’t have them but it should not be a problem because they are sold several places on the internet. Below I have listed some places where they are say they available and where I have bought them – only to find that they can’t deliver them

www.eurospares.co.uk (£34 each)
eBay - one of the UK's largest shopping destinations "autoperformanceonline" (£23.03 each)
eBay - one of the UK's largest shopping destinations "youwantwehave" (£32.40 each)

I then bought them ($35 each) from a US company Ferrari Parts - Ferrari Spare Parts - Ferrari Spares - Ferrari Brakes - Ferrari Clutch | AwItalian.com in New Jersey only to find out that they could delivered from a second source at an extra $100 each.

I have asked T.Rutlands (T. RUTLANDS) if they can deliver the filters because they have them on their homepage ($39.90 each) buy I have never received an answer.

Ricambi America (Ferrari Parts - Ricambi America, Inc. :) has them on their homepage
at a price of $660.90 each !!!. I have not asked if they have them on stock because I hope to find them cheaper somewhere else.

Now I ask if someone know where I can buy 2 filters at an OK price. I am a little worried that perhaps UFI have stopped the production and we (412 owners) will have problems getting the filter. Does anyone have a workaround like an alternative filter that fits with little modifications?

Regards

Peder

 

I contacted Maranello Classic Parts and got the answer that they cannot get them anymore

I was lucky that Rock had them on stock and I was able to buy two for 141 CAN$ each including tax, a “little” expensive. Rock explained that the price is equivalent to Canadian list price of a 308 filter – glad I don’t need to buy all my parts in Canada. Had colloquies in Toronto that could collect the filters so I saved a little on transport

So now I have my filters for this time but what about next time? I have checked UFI home Online Catalogue (menu) . There I can still find the filter no. 30.897.00 and it is listed as “available in our range” so we can hope they will make a new batch.

The filter have the dimensions L, W, H = 391x151x41 mm. The filter with closet matching dimensions I can find have L, W, H = 396.5x150x41 mm. It is used in Ford Mondeo and Cougar so it should be available from several manufactures. I don’t know if the small differences in dimension are critical but I will check when I change my filters.
