WTB: DIA-COMPE Gran Compe brake lever hoods

Looking for a pair of New-Old-Stock replacement Dia-Compe "Gran Compe" brake lever hoods.
Seeking the original ones for a pair of NGC-202 levers from more than 20 years ago.
Would be happy to find these in either Gum as pictured or Black.
Do NOT want the "anatomical" contoured models which were used on other models.
I have not found any other D-C hoods which fit the levers quite right - or feel as good.

The hoods are a Model 202.1
These fit only a few of the many levers offered by Dia-Compe during the mid-1980s

Here is one of the non-aero levers with hood removed.



And one of the hoods alone... in pretty bad condition as you can see:

If you have a pair hidden forgotten in your stash...
PLEASE drop me a PM.

Thanks!
Bob
