Default Fastback Canopy Cover-where to buy?

Does anyone know where I can buy a canopy cover for my Fastback RV-8? I assume that a Rocket cover will work. I did a Google search and only came up with Rocketboy, who is temporarily out of the cover buisness, anyone have other ideas?

Cleaveland Aircraft Tools has a Rocket one, surely that would work.

I use an RV8 cover from Vans for my Rocket. Works just fine.

When my wife heard what I was about to spend for a canopy cover on my 9, she ordered rip stop nylon, lined it with soft material, and made me a cover. It's a series of individual pieces she laid out on the airplane, pinned them, then took it inside & sewed the panels together.

Less than $50 & it looks good.
