I found some on E-bay, intended for the Alfa Romeo GTV-6, marketed with the 
Centric brand name but made by the German company ATE, apparently actually 
manufactured in Italy???

I turned Rich Boschert onto them and he bought them all up!   They no 
longer carry the Pantera style with a round, screw-on reservoir, but they do have 
one for a later model that uses a different-shape reservoir:

-93-92-91-1994-136-02103-/130833097033

Richard has spoken with the vendor--he sold barely a handful of the 
round-reservoir things for years, and suddenly there's been a huge demand as 
Pantera guys bought them all up.

The key thing is that the master has a 19mm bore.   Other Alfas have 
masters that are externally the same, but have a different bore size, and those 
won't work.

BTW these same guys offer a slave cylinder which I believe is also 
identical to the Pantera unit, similarly marketed by Centric but made by ATE, I 
believe?:

The end of the piston is different and you would have to swap your old 
Pantera pushrod over, which is no big deal....
