I'm ready to purchase 80 feet of 5 inch wide Unidirectional Carbon Fiber.  
 
I used the LML Search, but was not able to find the answers to these questions......
 
1)     Is the Graphite Fiber Tape, part number 01-06200,  in the ACS catalog what I should buy?  (This is the only 5 inch wide item listed)
 
2)     I have a header tank with hinge pockets. Is hinging it on the header tank preferred or should I consider using a  "no header tank" method? (I have purchased the Forward Hinged Canopy kit)
 
3)     I'm not sure I want to drill through the longerons.  Have any of you developed a way to attach the gas strut brackets (or no header tank hinges) without drilling the longerons?
