About a month ago I ordered a pair of the engine mount covers from
rvbits.com (based in South Africa). After a couple of weeks I asked the
seller (Chris Adrian) for shipping status. First, he claimed he never
got the order, although Paypal said he'd been paid. So I filed a
dispute with Paypal. Mr Adrian's tune immediately changed -- he claimed
he'd already shipped the items. He didn't respond to my request for
shiping method and tracking number, and the items never arrived. I
elevated the dispute to "claim" status with Paypal, and eventually got
notice from Paypal that my money has been returned.
Based on my experience, I'd recommend steering clear of rvbits.com.

Sorry to hear about your problem.
I made my own .... vacuum bagged over the form in the middle. It's a 3" foam ball cut in half with a radius made from lightweight spackle from the aircraft aisle in Home depot.

It's too bad we don't have something like Angies List for aviation ..... I bought a canopy for my Pitts from Dave Garmann at Planecanopies.com.
I worked hard trimming it to make it fit and when I pulled the plastic off It was wrinkled all down the right side ....
He won't return my calls and won't make good of the POS he sent me.

Tim,
Get the mount covers from Geoff Combs. More money, but they look beautiful, which is probably the reason to get the carbon ones in the first place

Linn, nice work! What do you use for vacuum? I have a tiny medical vacuum pump, and it works great for small stuff like this, but not enough on a bigger sheet.

Cleaveland Tools sells many of the rvbits.com products and stocked them. Then you don't have to worry about timing an international shipment.
I also agree with Lenny, just buy for Aerosport Products. It's hard to beat Geoff for support. It would be nice if carbon fiber was less expensive, but it is, what it is.

Tim,
Sorry you had a bad experience with them. I have ordered two sets in the past without any issues. They took a while to arrive, but they were coming from africa.

Mail to and from countries in Africa can be a unique experience. I remember when I was working in Sierra Leone, I received a letter from my grandmother 8 months after she had passed away. It felt very strange. Still they should not have said they shipped it if they did not.

I ordered the covers from RvBits several months ago. They did take several weeks, but arrives without issue. It is a long shipping window... be slightly patient.
Cheers,
Frank

I recently ordered a set of main gear fairings from RVbits. Took awhile for them to arrive but they finally did. Nicely formed and finished.
