Subject: [CR]Mafac hood choice for nylon body levers

While we are discussing French issues, could someone let me know what the correct hoods are for the Mafac nylon bodied levers on my 74 Peugeot PR-10L? Half hood or full?

I'll probably have to make do with something like the AME generics (or some laterally cracked old weinmanns or the like) and will need to enlarge the cable hole to accommodate the (wacky) large adjusters on the top of the lever bodies. Any tips / solutions appreciated.

Thanks to all who helped with the NR RD capacity issue yesterday.
