They are rare,  no longer made parts,  for a limited run of a small 
selling car,  that stopped being sold
here 21 years ago??  (Spica injection,  of course I don't mean Alfa in 
general)

Guess it dosen't get much more reasonable..  but there is a guy 
advertizing in the Alfa Owner,  who will
sell one in stainless for $175 + the core..  non working cores 
accepable.  He'll even sell you one w/o the
stainless capillary tube,  if your core is usable,  for $115,  and no 2 
yr guarantee.

Wes Ingram sells remanufactured ones for $158 + $25 core charge.

I have no experience or affiliation.. etc, etc...

Hope it helps.

Jon
