Repo lever hoods source

I think they would, but I don't have a set to check. (I have a set of Galli levers on my Conti, but it already have some his. I'm not ready to disassemble it to check.) The Tipo Corsa with the nifty quick release mechanism would probably require a little surgery, and the cable exit on the TC lever seems to be significantly larger in diameter than the corresponding bit on the hood.

Those look really nice, congratulations. I don't know your criteria for choosing subjects, but if you don't mind I'll add my own wish list:
MAFAC, either full or half. There are so many of these still being used that I would think there will always be demand.
Weinmann, the 60's-70's style. Cane Creek hoods fit but they're just not the same. Like MAFAC, in production for decades and lots of these still in use.
GB Superhoods. These would be more rare but no more than Vittoria or Zeus. I could use a pair!

I do not think that could get GB super hoods in mint condition, but if you ever see pair for sale just give me a sign
about half mafac hoods I saw few repros on market so I did not decided to make it yet, I will make mafac full hoods but need more time
BTW I can make other parts (like plugs etc) but need patern
now I will make first
sante, dura ace st-7700, shimano 600 first generation, universal cx, suntour superbe first generation, bl-6207, bl-6209, shimano z320, golden arrow, weinmann v1 , v2, v3, suntour cyclone, dia compe v1, v2

As a data point: the AX hoods I ordered from Poland arrived in today's mail. I am so pleased. I plan to order more.

Interestingly enough, the Vittoria hoods we're familiar with don't seem to match those on the only Vittoria levers listed on Velobase.

No worries. I don't plan on cutting in on the tens and tens of dollars to be made in the vintage hood market. I do it for fun and help out a few friends.

like the dark gray Sante hoods, I can't keep the lighter ones from looking icky/dingy to save my life.
