Mafac Rubber Hood

I am refurbishing a 1970 Gitane Tour de France with all original parts. I am
looking for a source for two Mafac rubber brake hoods. Anyone know of a
company that makes something that is simular?

Check out Via Bicycles (bikeville.com) has they list some Mafac hoods
(in black, white and red!) for sale:

If not, check with other vintage sellers like Bicycle Classics or The
Third Hand. Good Luck!

And I don't get warm and fuzzy all over. All I can think about is
hacksaws and French bearing sizes. -- Jay Beattie.

Here is a late Golden Era bike I would own -- right size, too:
