Used parts request - USA Alfetta GT/GTV6 headlight mountings



Greetings Alfisti,

A request please to US readers from New Zealand.
I wonder if anyone can find us one or two sets of the headlight mounting
hardware used on US Alfetta GTs and GTV6s?
A set consists of four metal buckets with the special mounting brackets &
adjusters to secure them to the car body & to hold the lamp units, plus the
four bright metal trim rings which top off the assemblies.

If anyone has any sets on a parts-car or is able to grab any from Alfas in
dismantling-yards, I'd be very pleased to hear from you.  I have relatives
in the US who can organise local US payment to you and who can provide a US
posting-address for you to send the parts to, so you wouldn't need to worry
about any international complications.

(By way of explanation, Euro Alfetta GTs - as in NZ - have Carello lamps,
which have these special mounting brackets built-in to the lamp itself.
These lamps mount directly onto the car body & there's no adaptor-bucket.
Hence only the Ricambi Originale Alfetta GT Carello lamps can be installed,
and these parts of course are now as rare as Alfasuds or 156s are in the
USA. Obtaining the US-style adaptors allows us to use any standard-style
semi-sealed headlamp units in our Euro cars, which is really, really good! I
bought myself a set of these adaptors via a US Digester some time ago and
now I have a couple of Alfetta GT friends here who'd like to buy sets for
their use too).

If you prefer to reply off-digest, we're at graham.joan@domain.elided

Many thanks,
Graham Hilder,
New Zealand.
