    Cool man, what I was thinking though if you remove it, you can probably take it to a brake specialist who will be able to match it up with something he keeps in stock. :):)

    I forget what booster Ferrari uses in the 355, but I am sure there is something that a brake expert could sort for you. ;);)

    I am having issues with mine as well. I had it rebuilt, but still not working right. This is what
    I have found so far as a replacement. I have not purchased it yet, but it may be a good fit.
    Its from a Chevrolet MkII Teves/ATE brake system, same in the ferrari as well as the porsche
    993 turbo. If someone buys the GM parts, please let me know if its a match!
