Depending on when your regional is, you have time to order lighter ones now that you can drop in during practice day of your event. You also have the withholding allowance....

This is a bit of out an out there idea but you can replace the AM kit frame corner brackets with 1/8 plate gussets. EX: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/38516 And use rivets instead of bolts.

Edit: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/38390 cad files are in this.

I know you guys are short on weight, but are your accumulators plastic?

If they are, check this out...

It may be a good idea to keep the plastic accumulators, but please see the risk involved with it.

Please realize that this was a user error. There is no way that that tank burst by itself. There is nothing wrong with plastic tanks. Most likely the fittings on the tank were over tightened or it was dropped. Please try not to cause panic and bias towards a product because of one team's mistakes.
