147 GTA

Another GTA brake question

Today I asked my local dealer to price the 330mm brake upgrade for my 2003 147 GTA. I told the parts guy that I had some part numbers for the parts I was looking for as follows:

F0077362692 BRAKE PADS X1
F00773626276 CALIPER X1
F00773626277 CALIPER X1
F0051733051 BRAKE DISC X2
F0060693782 PIPE X1
F0060693783 PIPE X1
F0060693576 BRACKET X1
F0060693575 BRACKET X1

I was told that these part numbers did not match the Australian part number, but that there were matches for the last nine digits, ie the F00 didn't match. However, the calipers did not match what I was describing but were for an Alfa 147 from 2000 onwards.

So I asked him to look up the GT 3.2 calipers. He told me the following numbers came for the GT 3.2 calipers:
735363886 and 735363887.

My question is what part numbers should I be asking for? Can anyone confirm the numbers?

Interestingly he told me that apart from the discs, it appeared none of the other parts had been ordered in Australia yet and he would have to get a price from Italy. Hard to believe no one has done this Australia yet, unless the parts were sourced from overseas, which may be an option due to price gouging by Ateco in Australia, eg the 330 mm discs are priced at $377.

GTAOwner has done it thru dealer in Melbourne. You might want to drop him a note on that.

Have you tried ED spares? I have ordered parts from them both shipped and pick up myself. They are really good.

735363886/735363887 are the numbers for the calipers and pads together, ask him to click show product components and it will give the numbers you have separately for each.

Are you doing this out of your own pocket 147?

I would maybe consider just ordering the calipers and brackets, then source uprated items for the rest. Goodridge lines and PF Z-rated pads for example and weigh up the most viable option for discs, AD, Tarox and Nitrac to name a few, would have to check that last one though only seen them listed as 305's.

I agree. It's better to get some aftermaket pads, discs and hoses. I'm gonna put DS2500 in my 330 this weekend. I have finally finished the chocolate stock pads.

Thanks for the extra info. Yes, this is being done out my own pocket and I wanted to get the Australian prices for the parts first as a baseline before I looked at 3rd party alternatives. However, I never intended to get the stock pads in any case.

Can anyone confirm that 9947849 and 9947850 are the numbers for the smaller GTA calipers?
