Hey Greg,
Thanks! Glad to be making some progress, trying to enjoy the journey more than the completion

I guess I must be getting older haha. Awesome I should see if I can meet up with him. Definitely will do!
Decided to try out the Cylinders and hydraulics from Magom HRC in Spain as they offer custom cylinder lengths in a variety of sizing. They had awesome customer service and I received my package in 6 days from Spain for only 16 euro!!
Being a CAD junkie first thing I did was draw it up to get it into the model.
Looks like it is going to be a great fit, now I need to finalise the remaining cylinder lengths and hydraulic system so I can order the rest and test them out!
