Shimano Sante Brake Lever Hoods

i've already tried cleaning them, there's just too much usage, and they have a permanent yellow-ish tint...

i've called all the lbs's in the area looking for nos to no avail...

do you guys have a good source?

do any off the other shimano hoods from the same era fit? 105, 600, or dura ace?

any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm not an expert by any means, but i think any "aero hood" will probably fit, although you may have to settle with black. check out these hoods if you think yours are bad!! Yes, that is white underneath the mold?? What type of bike are you restoring btw??

just trying to clean up my 84 cannondale SR. white frame, the sante looks pretty with it...

i want a nice flush fit, and have tried other aero hoods that i have laying around, and nothing seems to fit very well.

These should work swell. If you want white then I think BF member KHatful is your ticket.
