brake hoods for vintage trek

Hi Everyone! This is my first post. Recently bought an 86 Trek 560 that I am totally in love with! It has the original Shimano 600 group, but the brake hoods are aftermarket and they stick up about an inch above the top of the brakes. It's really just a cosmetic thing, but I'd like to get some hoods that fit the old 600 brakes. The NOS stuff is pretty pricey. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
