thanks again to this site and raymonds which have been so helpful ...i have a few unfinished projects on my 86 and was wondering if the other owners have run across sources or unique solutions to the following areas...
1) vitaloni 3 mirrors are faded,scratched and may need replacement..any ideas?
2) missing random rubber plugs in US spec carb airboxes....suggestions?
3) rubber seal on windshield header is tired and torn...
some of these parts may be as close as a home depot(plugs) or jc whitney catalog(seal)...i was interested in seeing what solutions you have come up with...by the way, my electrical gremlin is fixed(rotor was cracked and addition of a msd coil) and the A/C works better than in any italian car i have ever owned...also kudos to lamborghini for being thoughtful enough to use a timing chain(unlike my ex-ferrari) and provide an access panel behind the passenger seat...thanks to all for your input...

For #1 there is a set on ebay for sale. I replaced mine with these. They are not electric but they are very close in look and style. You can refurbish the ones that you have. Take them off and wet sand them and paint with black satin vinyl and rubber paint ( cost less then new and will be original)

#2 I find a lot of these parts at local hardware stores such as Ace or TruValue. It is amazing what you'll find when you least expect it.

#3 JC Whitney is the best place to buy any type of weather stripping and seals.

Again if you take a photo of the areas that are missing the plugs I can assist you by sourcing the parts and sending them to you if you cannot find them.

I bought weather stripping from the factory for the doors and the windshield or rollbar. One of them was no longer available and the corners on the widshield are no longer available.

I need the windshield corners. If you find those please let me know. I am missing the driver side windshild corner and the sun shines in. You can poke you finger through the large gap. I have to be careful when I wash it.

Anyway, the weather stripping was a couple hundred dollars from Lamborghini. If anyone knows where to find the windshild corners please let me know!

my understanding is the mirrors can be found at any motorcycle parts seller, for a Ducati. they were less than $40.00 each i think also.

thanks carreaper....i am trying the refurb thing first that detour spoke of...if that doesn't turn out well(i would never be confused for a handyman) then that is a GREAT lead for a replacement!!
