Anyone have a source for 2 Mikashima (MKS) Sylvan dust covers?

These were probably the pedal bargain of the century. About $12 or something in 1976.

Mikashima's clever plan was to overtighten the bearings and leave the dust covers loose so as not to undermine the sales of the top pedal.

I vaguely remember the spindles were a Boron-steel rather than Cro-Mo. No mild steel like those hinky Lyotards.
