Subject: [CR] WTB - Brake hood covers for Mafac levers


I\u2019m looking for a pair of hoods for some Mafac brake levers for an old Peugeot PX10 that we\u2019ve fixed up in our shop. Since I can\u2019t buy stuff off eBay with university $$, would anyone happen to know of anyone selling anything that\u2019ll fit that\u2019s reasonably priced?

I\u2019ve only found this Japns leather-maker\u2019s web site where they\u2019re showing off some leather made hoods which are absolutely gorgeous but I\u2019m assuming are prohibitively expensive: http://www12.ocn.ne.jp/~hishikaw/page008.html http://www12.ocn.ne.jp/~hishikaw/page008.html#\u8a66\u8d70\u4e00\u5e74 \u8a66\u8d70\u4e00\u5e74

Or this link if that one doesn\u2019t work (has some Japns. characters in it):

I know I could update the brakes altogether to something that I can buy hoods for but I\u2019d like to keep the original eqpt. if at all possible.

Thanks in advance for any referrals or pointers.
