Curious here... It was my understanding that parts that are used on a bot cannot be reused on a later bot if it is modified. Technically speaking wouldn't putting fittings into an air cylinder make it no longer off the shelf?

The way it was explained to us lends itself to just that. Same holds true for transmissions and such ( hence why we haven't gone with two speed trans yet)
