Default Looking for a replacement for a stolen accessory

The Trek 950 that I used to have was equipped with Tektro brake levers
that had clamped-on vertical brake lever end extensions which made the
brakes accessible when gripping the bar ends. I've looked around
quite a bit, but I haven't found anyone selling these extensions, nor
does Tektro seem to have them listed on their site. Have they been
withdrawn from the market? Is there any substitute? I liked those
extensions a lot, and I'd prefer to have another set for the
replacement bike that's under construction...but so far, I've come up
dry in my searches. Any suggestions?

Dear Werehatrack,

I think that these are different than what you have in mind,
but perhaps worth a look:

Not quite what I need, no, but they do have some interesting stuff.

If nothing else comes up, that will do. My thanks; I had looked at
Nashbar, but I missed those.
