It shows you what the markup is , now these cars are getting to 15+ years old it does make me wonder why more 3rd party manufacturers aren't starting to support them with parts that would be quite easy to make

Good luck with getting that to fit.

Obviously it's do-able, but will take a bit of welding and pipe bending to get done.

Welding and pipe bending not a problem, I'm a plumber by trade and a good friend is an engineer who has a fully equipped workshop 50 yds from my house, just found a uk seller of said part on ebay for £75, as opposed to £25 from the states, but not sure what carriage will be.

Still a comparative bargain in the UK, a good find and as you said can be made to work quite easily

There was no way I was going to fork out the ridiculous price that Maserati want for a new one, and though there are second hand ones available for a couple of hundred, that's still a lot of money and don't really see point in going 2nd hand on a part that is a known weak spot, think I will give this alternative a go, and will do a write up when I do, but wont be for a couple of months.

I think you are spot on here. It needs a simple bracket at the u-bend end and some adapter pipes made up to go from the supplied fittings to the existing power steering pipes. Might be worth keeping a template of anything you make so others can copy.

If your not in the market for buying and modding an alternative part then speak to Marios at Autoshield he has had an uprated alternative manufactured and keeps in stock for GS and 4200s at around 25% of the Maserati part.
