I just sanded and polished out the lever bodies of a Dura Ace brake lever. The pitting came out and now they shine (in some places not original but new ones are up to $100 now on E-bay). When I put what I believe are still very good soft hoods back on, they no longer fit right. They seem to be stretched out. Do I glue them back on, or use some magical formula to get them to contract back on to the bodies?
