Thanks for you who replied directly to me on this subject. These hoods seem to be quite rare, and some said they still can be found if you really hunt. (but for the rumored $$ they've gone for, I doubt I'll be in the hunting mood !). DiaCompe - or other 'campy style' replacments were suggested as readily available alternatives. Thanks to all who helped.
