Thumbs up Cowden Automotive Pty & RF body Hinges

Over the years as I have worked on my RF I have had the oppatunity to meet a number of vendors, some good, some bad and some misguided. Whenever I have the pleasure of dealing with a good one I think it's important to let other know. Because of that I feel compelled to post a comment about Jim Cowden.

Jim is the guy that makes the quick release hinges for the RF front and rear body clips. The design is such that you can remove the clip without changing the adjustment of those body sections. You can see the hinges in the RF105 build thread. Anyway I contacted him and arranged to purchase a set of his clips for my RF. Well to make a long story short the other day I sent him a Paypal payment in full for the parts and shipping. Today I was surprised to find a refund from Paypal in my email and a note from Jim saying that he had quoted me in Australian Dollars and I had send USD so he was refunding my overpayment.

Now my point is that I paid what I throught was the stated price and most likely would have never known about the error. To say the least I was floored, Jim thank you for your honesty and I would not hesitate an instant in recommending someone doing business with you or your comapny.

As a side note Jim mentioned that he was working on a better door hinge, I can't wait to see that.
