I decided to have these made as they have been missing for so many years off the shelves, and I don't like repros in epoxy resin, they are expensive for what they are and mostly of inferior quality. This is made like OE lenses, we copied a used 'CARELLO' lens. Lucky for my Milanese contacts I managed to avoid high-4/low-5 figure costs in EUR for the injection mold...

osso thank you for the part#, we will stamp it on the lower side. I am now also working on finding the white rubber profile used as the gasket as I'd like to supply the lenses with the gasket if I'm able.

There are always other repros in mind, depends if you want to take a risk on production costs vs. sales, we shall see how this one goes.
I think this one will go well if it's done exactly like the original. They were also used on certain Ferraris. This means they cost $15 for an Alfa and $150 for a Ferrari.

My thought on the part number though is that it may not be an Alfa 105/115xxx number but a Carello/Altissimo part number. I'll see if the books show anything...
That's correct. No Alfa number on them, only Carello.
