do they make a generic version with no holes in them?
I didn't realize your levers were aero. That said, the hole wouldn't keep them from "working".

I took a few phone photos of the "generic" hoods from Loose Screws. The lever arm needed to be removed to install them without putting too much stress on the hood. I removed the lever arm, sprayed a Simple Green solution in the hood and slid the housing part of the lever in from the rear of the hood. I pushed the housing through the front of the hood to the point where the hinge pin that holds the lever arm could be accessed and reattached the arm. They're not as nice looking or feeling as the new Dia Compe hoods, but they're what I could find.
