Who makes a car cover for a Cup that will cover the wing too? I have a slightly larger than stock wing on my 2008.

Also does someone sell a kit with gauges and a regulator and wand ( or whatever it is called ) for the nitrogen jacks?

Thanks

California Car Covers. They have measurements for the CUPS with the wings.

Jegs sells an Allstar Performance hose kit (049-ALL11312, $145) and regulator (049-ALL11310, $150) that will work with a nitrogen tank. I bought my regulator where I get my nitrogen. The real trick is finding a fitting that is hydraulic on one end for the wand and a pipe fitting on the other end for the disconnect on the hose. For that I went to a local machinery dealer that makes hydraulic hoses.

I'm going through the same process myself WRT to the air jack system. I
didn't find any kits per se, so I just bought the components from various
sources

You will need a Stabli brand lance (wand) for your year car. The link Glen
provided is to one of the dealers here in the states. He wants $595 for a
straight lance and $695 for a swivel.

I bought my airhose from this company:

You need a hose that is rated to at least 500 psi. I went with the 3/8".

I got my regulator from Welding Supply:

These regulators are Motorsports models and feature a 3/8" NPT outlet
and higher flow rates.

My quick releases are by Eaton Hansen and are rated to 1000psi:

For Nirogen, I set up an account with my local Airgas to have a big 'ol K
cylinder in my shop. I use that cylinder and a transfil kit to fill two
smaller (60 and 33 cu ft) Aluminum cylinders I keep in my trailer. I
like this set up because I don't have to wrestle with any heavy steel
cylinders. When my "K" gets low, I call Airgas and they send a truck to
swap it out for a fresh new one.

Thanks for the info on the jacks and the covers. I'm surprised no one sells a kit since everyone with a Cup needs one. I fortunately have a nitrogen bottle already that was left in a building I bought.

> Oh, I just saw Glens link. Cool. I will need some other stuff too, like the socket for the wheels etc.

Try Ron at discovery parts. He put together the hose, regulator and ends for me. I don't think he has the wand. He will get you everything but the wand and bottle. Buy bottle at local welding supply store.

For the cover Gert at http://carnewal.com/ sells the OEM cover or he can get same material in different color for half the price. Perfect fit, silky material.

I went through two Goodyear Gorilla hoses. They both bubbled, one when left at pressure overnight and the other for not nearly that long. They worked, but the bubbles occurred well below the 500 psi rating. Went with a pressure washer hose instead that was cheaper for my length and rated for MUCH higher pressures. No issues so far.

I was afraid of that. These hoses are operating right at there limit with this system and it doesn't look like it takes much for a failure.

I think the pressure washing hose is a great idea. Pretty much all of them are rated over 1000 psi with burst pressures three times that amount. The good ones all have tough, non marking covers and anti kink
extension at each end making them ideal for this task.

I'm going to pick up a couple and relegate my Gorilla hose to air compressor duty.

Go to a hydraulic parts store near you . They can make it up with a quick release fitting . Its amazing and no chance of bursting.
