Interchangeability of pedal body covers for PD-7800 and PD-6610, PD-5600, PD-R540
The Shimano pedal body covers for PD-7800 pedals and PD-6610, PD-5600, PD-R540 pedals look very similar. Will the pedal body covers for the latter work on PD-7800 pedals?

Banned.
I have a spare set of the Ultegra level covers in my hands. I would be more than happy to take pictures or measurements for you. I don’t have any Dura Ace pedals on hand, only Ultegra

Thank you for the pictures, jiangshi.
It appears that the covers are interchangeable. I found a very low price for the PD-6610, PD-5600, PD-R540 covers (which can be returned), so I'm going to buy some and see whether they'll work on my PD-7800 pedals. The worst case is that I have to pay a few dollars for return postage.

I installed a pedal body cover for PD-6610, PD-5600, PD-R540 pedals on a PD-7800 pedal. The pins on the bottom of the cover are in the right places, but there is some extra material on the bottom of the cover that prevents the smaller pins from going fully into the holes. Perhaps I could remove that extra material, but I'd rather pay the extra $1.80 per cover ($4.79 vs. $2.99) for the covers made for the PD-7800 pedals. This cover could work temporarily on a PD-7800 pedal, but it is not interchangeable with the cover made for PD-7800.
