Made by SKF in Sweden, good luck getting them to supply youDoubt Maserati made these themselves did they? If not, can we find the company that made them?

Not silly, but the way the are manufactured means that you'd destroy it, pulling it apart. Search for threads on this very topic by our more learned members a few years agoExcuse the silly question, but.....
Has anyone tried dismantling the wheel bearing "unit" to get to the actual bearing that will inside the two flanges? Surely there will be a standard SKF RS type bearing buried somewhere inside the unit. It didn't grow there!
Can another abs sensor be fitted somehow? And leave the bearing alone?Not silly, but the way the are manufactured means that you'd destroy it, pulling it apart. Search for threads on this very topic by our more learned members a few years ago

The sensor is inside, hence all the gnashing of teethCan another abs sensor be fitted somehow? And leave the bearing alone?
That's not a bad idea, group buy from major suppliers, garagistes and GT owners (each buying one) should be able to come up with the moolah.Might be worth having a chat with James Pumo/owner of eurospares , see what his take on it might be , perhaps a collaboration in part , do we have a general idea Matt of a few other parts in demand , if its worth it i'll arrange a meeting with him

Believe it or not, there isn’t seperate bearing in there, the outer race is part of the body and the inner of the hub. The hub itself is formed over at the to prevent dismantling and this is the part which is magnetised for the sensor ring.
The same for many F cars and the Coupe / GS. I expect Ferrari / Maserati own the IP for the design so an order direct to SKF would be rebuffed.
I should have thought the IP would have expired , would be worth checking , how you go about that im not sure , most IP last for 10 years usually from what i understandBelieve it or not, there isn’t seperate bearing in there, the outer race is part of the body and the inner of the hub.

Im sure if you took one to a market in downtown Kabul or Kandahar you would most definitely get them to make you one for £2.14 shillings and 6 pence , they make rather good copies of most guns including very good models of an AK47 which i might add is a damm site stronger lol a bearing for a Masser should be a breezeWow!
And why???
No need to answer that really...
