Cap for 35 Summicron hood 12524/12526 - Any options?

[Jaime M]

Hi, I just bought a nice 35 Summicron v4 with 12524 hood but it came without cap hood.
I'm looking for on the bay for the rubber hood cap, part 14043 but there is only one Japanese seller, "buy it" article new for $70

Adorama and BH sell it too, at $30ish but the shipping cost to europe is $50

Any other find or solution within EU?

Hello Jaime,

I had lost some of those 14043 caps.
So I found a DIY to replace with 52mm caps :

In french, sorry, but some images may help if you want to DIY :

If you want original cap, I think that Leica Store or Leica shops (in France) may have those 14043 in stock.
Expensive for a plain plastic cap !
