leicanthrope-

I just call them brake lever clamps but that's not official. Hoods are easy to come by - try searching here on the Forms and on EBay. The repros are perfect fit and reasonable in cost. The lever clamps can be replaced by Gran Sport, Victory, Triomphe parts and probably by Gran Compe/Royal as well. Modolo and Gipiemme are possibles but maybe sketchy. NOS parts are for fanatical, period correct, date coded museum level restorations and priced accordingly (astronomical!). Nice score, by the way. That style lever is the most comfortable I've ever used so get the correct fitting hoods and enjoy the comfort!
