Default 86 5000QV Rear Tail Lens Red Reflector

Just joined this site after finally finding a Countach in overall good condition. I am going through a minor restoration of the vehicle and in need of one or two of the rear red reflectors just under the main group of the three lights on the tail lens... The red reflectors are small and rectangular and are not seen when you install the rear tail cover (I left mine off because I like the look of the rear-end without it)... Tried LamboStuff and they said they are no longer available and looking into fabricating a set in the future.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks, Mark.

Try ebay, quite often you can find them, be patient and don't buy on the first expensive occasion.

So far no luck... Someone said that you can find similar ones at Walmart... Having original woulld be nice but it defenitely looks worse with one completely missing.

Thanks, Mark.

If walmart has Alfa Gulia 2000 lenses you might have luck...

I'll post in here when I see some. Don't pay $200 or more for them, you can definitely get them a lot cheaper with enough patience.

I contacted a company in Northern California called Alfa Parts about the Alfa Gulia 2000 red reflectors but they did not match the size of those on the Countach (they were smaller)...

With the Olsa/Carello number they should be able to find the correct ones.

How would I find these OLSA/Carello numbers for the reflectors?

I have one on the the car and the numbers on the actual reflector (top of reflector) are: 91.017.718 9030 (I have also found the 91.017.718 referenced out there on the web as this reflector). Turns out that they stopped making these about 6 months ago and that they were on a variey of models including all the 1999 Diablo's...

The Carello or Olsa (copy) number is stamped on the glass, you should be able to read it.
The square one were never used on the Diablo, the round pieces of the Diable otherwise were from tractors...

Default Reflectors...

This note is probably waaay too late for this topic.
But I actually found in "Walmart" a reflector that fits PERFECTLY in the
space of the rear reflector of the CT.
I think it was $3.00 or so.
