Shimano 600 Brake Lever Replacement Hoods
 
Anyone know of a "perfect" fit or close enough replacement for old Shimano 600 brake lever hoods?
Any assistance greatly appreciated! =))

pics or the levers/hoods don't exist.

in seriousness, a picture or model number would be helpful.

Dia Compe 204 non-aero hoods are a close enough fit for the Shimano 600 non-aero levers.

+1, I tried these and they fit pretty well.

if those dia-compe hoods fit, does that mean the ubiquitous cane creek hoods one can find anywhere ('new' on ebay for around $10 delivered) will fit just as well?

The Cane Creek hoods are a sloppy fit and need to be modified a bit to accommodate the levers when depressed. You might check out ebay seller Mike Fraysse who apparently has an inexhaustible supply of the correct NOS levers at $29.99 a pop.

Those are not exactly the same, and they are a little looser. On the other hand they're cheap and easy to find, and IMO they fit OK.
