I have a few questions:
a. what do I use to mount my cylinders so that they can pivot
b. what should be on the tip of my piston so that when it fires out, it wont directly hit the claw and get distorted

thank you!
A: Depending on which size you ordered you will have a pin or a pivot hole at the base of the cylinder. Download the Bimba catalog, it will show you all of the dimensions and mount types.

B: I don't really understand your question. Do you have more details? The cylinder rod has a threaded end that you attach things too.
