[Leica] Front cap?

[jbcollier at shaw.ca (John Collier)]

You can buy the hood cap from the Summicron Asph which will fit. The 
only difference between the 12524 (your hood) and the Asph's (12526) is 
the shape of the nubs at the front of the hood. The 12526 has larger 
nubs with a pronounced edge to better grip the hood cap. A little work 
with some two part epoxy should equalize things. The hood cap's product 
number is 14043.
