I know this has been asked many times but a search does not show any current info. Is anyone making a plenum that will match up with the stock RV-8 cowl?

You don't have to have one, but is there a technical reason you desire a plenum (cover)?
NJ33JJ - FYI, I reached out to RVBits, and while they don't list the plenum on their website anymore, they will still make them. But the shipping from South Africa is expensive (about $300). They are doing a Carbon Fibre one for me now.
I also have a nearby neighbor that has one he was going to put on a different type of aircraft, but that plan didn't work out, so he might be interested in selling it. Let me know if you are interested.
Chuck: I am in Northern Ca. And would be interested in a plenum for my RV6 and would like to explore the split shipping. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks, Bruce Estes

I flew without the plenum for many years but looking out at the cowling bulging from the internal pressure. Couldn?t stop thinking about the pressure on the sky bolt fasteners, couldn?t take my eyes off the ?scalloping? between the fasteners...

Chuck: thanks for the info. I emailed RV Bits, inquiring about a plenum for my RV6 but have not heard back. What is the cost for your new plenum and is it glass or c/f? I am still thinking of making my own but need more info. Thanks, Bruce
I email you as listed on your website. I want pricing for a plenum for my RV6 with a IO360. Thanks, Bruce Estes. [email protected]
I did not get a response. Nothing. Not even a polite ?We are not building that plenum?. Bruce Estes
