Good question.  My experience is that the 105/115 idler arms are 
interchangeable within Spider/GTV/Berlina.  I'm about to install a late '74 
berlina idler in an earlier Berlina, the number cast on it is 10500-2410001.

Related question:  This idler feels tight with no apparent bushing wear, 
off a  chassis with 90,000 miles.  I was going to disassemble so that I 
could grease the shaft and bushing.  Any suggestions for such maintenance?
