Your Carbon hood is too light and would snap in half under the pressure!

Steve,

I’d 
be 
interested 
in 
knowing 
about 
this 
as 
I 
have 
a 
CF 
hood 
I’d 
like 
to 
do 
this 
on.

I 
saw 
that 
Blau 
had 
a 
conversion 
kit 
to 
add 
pressurized 
struts 
to 
the 
urq
hood 
so 
I 
ordered 
it 
... 
before 
I 
go 
and 
drill 
the 
4 
holes 
for 
it 
I 
thought
I'd 
see 
if 
any 
others 
here 
have 
used 
this 
kit, 
or 
is 
it 
better 
to 
get 
the
factory 
parts?  
By 
any 
chance 
does 
anyone 
know 
if 
the 
gas 
cylinders 
Blau
uses 
are 
standard 
cylinders?  
I 
don't 
see 
any 
markings 
on 
them, 
so 
I 
want 
to
make 
sure 
that 
they 
are 
readily 
available.  
From 
what 
I've 
seen 
of 
Audi 
hood
struts 
they 
don't 
seem 
to 
use 
the 
ball 
and 
socket 
joints 
for 
attaching.  

Thanks!
