Ok, so in any project where you're buying goods I guess you will get into a situation where someone beleives they have xyz product and in fact they have something they thought was said product but in fact is not. Unfortunatley you've already bought it based on their information and when it arrives you raise an eybrow - now what to do. I myself say be 110% sure it's a fake before you confront the seller.

So in order to be sure I'd like to ask you all the following:

Did Carello make only one multi piece Side wing amber blinker for the GT or are there different versions of the blinker - a one piece bezel and indicator combo and a multipiece unit. I have added pics of the two types.

One piece unit - no markings on the bezel underside, but Carello Markings on the lens. Bezel is chromed plastic - not metal. Mount screw points are totally different - they are very close together. Feels lightweight and cheap.

Multi piece unit. Seperate Metal Bezel with Carello markings as well as a seperate Amber lens with Carello markings.

So - your thoughts please. Is the one piece unit an imposter ?

I vote yes that it's a fake! I've never seen anything like the 1 piece unit or plastic chromed surround. I've been working on these cars for 35 years.

KG, you should get out more......
Pancho, if you have a pair of the one piece ones I'm interested in buying them !
The 2 piece ones are correct for the early Gt and GTV Bertones. The 1 piece items are not for a Bertone.

Thanks for the info Randy and KG, so what car is the one piece for then?

Original on '68 Giulia Super.

This unit is now for sale - I've located the correct parts that I am after. If you're keen please let me know. Shipping is from Australia but shouldnt be much as it will go in a padded envelope.

Hi Pancho,

Would appreciate some help with the lenses by Carellos. I'm restoring a Super and need two pairs of the lenses with it's base and rubber backing as I already have the metal bezel with Carello markings. I also agree with you to refrain from buying fakes and so far managed to get NOS items for my car. The curved shaped ones are for earlier GTs and Giulias so I prefer the straight ones. Thanks if you can help.

TSU, call Ronny Rettberg he has one or two, be seated before you call though. My units were found as a fluke, be sure to get good quality pictures before sending money. Parts bin dependant of course, these come in Altissimo and Carello, I think the Aric ones might not be originals though.

Hope that helps you out.

Hi Pancho,
Thanks for the quick reply,just discovered the curved ones you posted are actually correct for my 72 Biscione Super, can you send it to Thailand?
Also would like contact for the other ones. I sometimes to send some stuff to Australia too to some fellow Bbers as well. Let me know if you need anything.
I can paypal you if you let ne know shipping by Australian Post. Thanks.

Thanks.

TSU, I only have one unit - the one shown in the post above. I typically buy whatever I can when I come across it - it's always easier to find one than two or more and these thigns will always fade over time ect.

If you're keen I'd have to find it over this weekend coming - not sure where it is. I can ship it anywhere. PM me your address so I can get a shipping price, also tell me if you want it registered / insured ect..
