If one were to think about a project to produce "NOS Mark II" lever hoods, one good candidate might the Universal 61/68 hood.
They were very common and popular on Italian bikes of the 60s and 70s, and excellent brakes, but the hoods rotted.
I have a couple of pretty good hoods in the bank vault (not really) that could be used for mold-making purposes. But, I'd rather someone show me how, and I will do it for someone else to mfg.
of course, this "bizness plan" has holes in it: how many nuts would buy 'em? does anyone still care about this, from the perspective of the folks who used to make the brakes?
can this be a break-even brake job?
