Verell Boaen with Unobtainium Supply has been approached, but the bi-color glass/plastic lense and back-lamp configuration is a challenge. M

    Need to find someone who can make replacements.
The Diablo guys went through this. There's a company making 
    repros. They remove their original Carello pieces and save them.

    Carello is no longer in-business.  Those front light clusters used
    to go for $7,000/pair, IF you could find them.  They are NLA.

        I missed the first portion of this mail, Britts commentary on
        the 328 and parts availabity,
        Parts like lenses are becoming very difficult to find....any
        one happen to have a LF lens for an 86 328 GTS?.

        Thanks, Phil
