Hoods for Shimano Blue Dot brake levers
I'm having trouble identifying which brake lever hoods are compatible with the old Shimano blue dot brake levers. Any suggestions for a correct fit?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Those are basically the same levers as their older MA-140 (1st Gen dura ace.). They're modeled after, and are almost identical to the Weinmann and Dia Compe 144 levers. Modern Cane Creek hoods for Dia Compe are a very good fit.
