Not Cheap, but they look good. They look original. Nice source. Again, not cheap.

Raleigh 74 -
The Reciclone hoods are the ones you want if it must say Mafac on the side. They are a perfect fit, come carefully packaged with excellent installation instructions. I described installation in this post. They still appear to be available in gum or black. The alternative is searching EBay or Rustines.

Not cheap indeed. Thanks for the info! I wouldn’t be heartbroken if they didn’t say Mafac, but I would rather have the actual logo or just plain. All Rustines I’ve seen have their logo.
