[DeTomaso] Wilkinson Remote Decklid Handle Wanted

[Mike Drew]

Mike,

That’s a standard Alfa Romeo Spyder trunk release. Readily available. 

Pantera ones were chrome, later Alfas were black. I assume early Alfas were chrome but didn’t know?

Here is a new black one on EBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/143930434475?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xtRAfmZ6Rve&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=yOodP4aXT3u&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

And another:

Here is a new reproduction one from Mr Fiat:

Just fire up Google and you will see they are everywhere.

   Mike,

   That's a standard Alfa Romeo Spyder trunk release. Readily available.

   Pantera ones were chrome, later Alfas were black. I assume early Alfas
   were chrome but didn't know?

   Here is a new black one on EBay:

     didn't use that I might be able to buy?  This would be the latch

     pushbutton cars.  You can see it at this link.
