The cut-off valve made by Pierburg in Germany (Ferrari part #147390) appears to be exactly the same as the Saab part #4228011 used for the Saab 900 and Saab 9000. The Saab part appears to be readily available online for around $70 (new). Has anyone used this Saab part?
Here is a photo of the new Saab part (in black) compared to the original Ferrari cut-off valve (part 147390). Image Unavailable, Please Login

Awesome!! That looks to be indentical! And cheap too. Just double check there is the diode under that insulation for the power wire. You can see it under the heat shrink on your old one, double check the new one has it in place. When I replaced my a/c compressor last year it never had the diode in place, so we soldered one in. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
It looks like Bosch 0280160738 has been discontinued. Anyone know if Bosch makes another model that's a 3.8 bar? Standard makes a PR298 that should work, but I'd rather stick with Bosch if possible.
FYI.. confirmed the Bosch part 0280160738 has been discontinued. PR298 is the 3.8 bar option available - for now.
If you are based in the UK these guys are decent: Filter Services ? Automotive Filters you can't buy online though
Since I originally posted this information I felt it necessary to update it. I purchased a rebuilt pump from them, It was not as advertised. They kept stalling me to make it right but never did for over a year. I returned the pump and to this day have not received a refund and lost a good core pump in the process as well. Unfortunately after doing more research it seems i'm not the only one taken by this guy, he also goes by max071492 on ebay. Beware of this guys unsatisfactory business practices.
It's the CO 7840F, and mine is working great! https://www.polarbearinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=11262
TB Shaft Seals I'm in the process of restoring my 348 and after powdercoating the throttle bodies I realized replacement throttle shaft seals on the TB were necessary. After a crazy amount of searching a little shop which happened to be local to me just so happened to have perfect sized replacements. 8mm x 12mm x 3mm rubber seals. Also they are only a couple bucks each! These seals fit both the throttle bodies and the intake manifold butterfly shaft seals.

www.polarbearinc.com also has a AC Drier with the correct fittings....# RD 6455 @ $42.50.... fits both 348 and 355... Note: I have not purchased yet so cannot be certain, except their website states it's good for both cars.
ABS brake pump The jaguar xj6 uses the same setup and the electric motor, pressure switch, and accumulator are all the same as the Ferrari. The electric motor bolts right up, and even uses the same plug. The only difference between the two units is the accumulator is located on the opposite side of the jaguar pump housing pointing it straight up if used on the Ferrari and not fitting under the closeout panel. Complete units can be had for $200
