retro brake hoods

Does anyone know where I can get replacement brake hoods for my 1986 dia-comp levers? These are the so called aero levers with the brake cable exiting along the handle bar and under the tape . TIA

Dia-Comp still makes replacment hoods. An LBS with a J&B Importers account should be able to get them for you.

Abbotsford cycles in Melbourne, https://www.onecer.net/abbotsfordcycles/index.html has some and their an absolute treasure trove for those wishing to keep older bikes going. There not Shimano brand though. There for the aero type with the brake cable running under the bar tape but give them a call as I'm sure they can help you.
