My right side rear riders rear set had snapped where the heal guide joins the main frame so I have been on a look out for a replacement, however this seems to be a common brake so the part is rare.

Recently one popped up on ebay via Ultimate Parts Ltd so I jumped on it, part 81 32 626 (AP8132626).

| check the part number is correct for your model! |
The replacement part is the correct part number and reference for the Sintesi model, however the Futura and Sport Pro use the same part with a different finish so will have a different part number. An example being, 89 model part number 81 32 626 which is described as 'polished' and for the 90 model 81 35 211 which is described as 'mat polished', but are essentially the same part.
The replacement looks like its a ball burnished finish, so very bright alloy and the challenge will be to match the other three foot rests. I made a quick test polish using a rag and autosol to see what an original foot rest will look like. With a bit of work they will polish up nice, however it will not look like the original part. I need to have a think about this and explore some options...
