Hopefully I've posted this in the correct section, if not please accept my apologies & direct me to the correct section.

I am building another bobber at the moment, which I'll be using a S&S P-Series motor to power. I really want to change the standard pressed steel pan head covers for some cast alloy finned covers, but I'm having some trouble sourcing any this side of The Pond !
There is a seller on our UK Ebay, Panhead Rocker Covers CUSTOM CYCLE Finned DISHPAN "polished" or "as cast" | eBay offering these options & I'm just wondering if anybody over in the USA has any experiance with this seller please ? Do they sound expensive, dubious quality, etc, etc ?
I have found a limited number of sellers advertising similar items, but when I contact them to check availability the covers turn out to be unavailable !

All/any help will be appreciated, many thanks in advance.

One is on Amazon I don't know how that works across the pond.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Ironworker40, all help is appreciated.

The Custom Chrome ones you posted the link to are close to a third the price of the ones I've seen over here on UK Ebay. Can the Ebay ones really be that much better ? That is my dilema !

They e bay listing you sent if you scroll down say the manufacturer is custom cycle engineering. So are the ones I sent. I only did a quick search. I could not believe they wanted $1500 for them. Im at work when i get home at 1 am ill look some more. Maybe there the only ones that like them

The ones from Amazon are $405 and change for the pair, and it says free shipping. The ones from Deadbeat Customs are $458 to $568, but shipping to UK would be extra.

Thanks again guys.

I'd missed the fact that the ones on Ebay over here were the same CCE make !!
When I'd looked at pictures on the various sites I'd come across they'd claimed to be "Made in USA" & basically not cheap rubbish, but the covers "looked" identical.

The one's in your link Ironworker are not polished though, (which is what I want) but even allowing for some extra cost to polish a pair up, that doesn't account for the almost trebling of the price being asked by that Ebay seller !! If I bought a pair from the Ebay seller his price would also be plus shipping, which he seems to want around $100 for & I get stung for import tax too !!

At least I know now that the cheaper ones you gave me the link to are the same as the Ebay ones. I have contacted Deadbeat & asked them to let me know when they get some polished ones in stock. Deadbeats price makes their's less than half what the Ebay seller is charging. I could accept a bit more, but what he's charging is a rip off, clearly !!
