If this is one and Scotty still has it, it's all yours. Mark

Let me check my stash. I have the mirrors and brackets; not sure if I have extra brackets.

Oh, BTW: There were versions of the mirror that had the base (the part that goes over the bracket shown in the photo in the first post) made out of plastic, and versions made out of metal. I was able to upgrade from a local wrecker's at one point.

thanks everyone!

my guess is the junk yards are full of cars with these brackets on the doors but absent of the actual mirror : )

I have those on my LE and hate them.

I have a BOX of these somewhere, as in restoring many of my Alfa Romeos, these mirrors were the most popular upgrade from original chrome Vitalonis on early cars, and this particular black plastic Vitaloni style, with plastic or metal bases, have been standard on Alfas for years. Try any Alfa supplier for the brackets. It might take me years to find my box!

I see them at the bi-annual G&R Swapmeet all the time. Usually at the bottom of a box filled with misc parts. The Vitaloni mirrors work good on the 914 and a shade smaller than 911 flag mirrors, plus they are 10x easier to mount. Used them. For many Yeats. Too bad they stopped production, the price s were reasonable

The mirrors are still available at $80.00 each. I sent the guy an email to see if the mounting hardware is still available. I've bought vintage mirrors from him over the years.
