Hi All,
My '71 Spider is going in for restoration bodywork and paint, and like so many others, I'm tentatively planning to go the "Euro-look" route. I have purchased the small, round, amber sidelights (Carello) from Classic Alfa. These current lights fit into the body with a single round hole, and are held in place with 3 plastic fingers that snap into place after passing through the hole.
It was my impression that the original lights had the round hole for the wiring, but were secured with two small screws passing through additional holes in the fender. Am I right on this? It's also my impression that originals are unobtainium.
For those out there who have already been down this road, what did you use for these lights?
