It seems to me that Campagnolo is mostly a metal fabricating company. Isn't it likely that they had someone else make the hoods for them? If Campagnolo did farm the hoodmaking business out, it probably means that Campy can't make more even if they wanted to.

This might mean that the tooling is sitting around somewhere in the subcontractor's warehouse, if said sub even exists anymore. It also might mean that the tools are long gone.

Perhaps someone in Italy wants to undertake this detective project. Who supplies Campagnolo's rubber parts today?

Fundamentally I think e-Richie is right on this one. Why should Campagnolo bother?
