Take a look at the Cavision LH80 hood (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/310726-REG/Cavision_LH80_Cavision_LH80_Lens_Hood.html). It will mount to the OD of a Kenko (80mm) wide angle. And, will mount to the Raynox with a 72-80mm stepup ring.

Fergus,
The only other options I know of involve the use of Bronica and Graflex thumbscrew mount or thread mount still camera hoods (the bayonette mounts won't work). You'll have to scrounge around eBay to find these elusive shades. They are metal and will require some grinding down with a Dremel tool. Here's an example (http://www.fortvir.net/gallery2/Member-Album/Codgers-GS400-Stuff/) of the Bronica 50mm mounted to the Raynox 6600.
