As far as your hood goes, why not leave off the hood and put a 572 BBC in there?

If it was mine I think I would either live with some mismatch or take it to somebody who knows what they are doing; $. Of course it's a 32, so is it supposed to be perfect? I certainly have some imperfections in mine and; 'if you don't like 'em then you can ................ '

Very hot and classy photos!
