cannot seem to find the parts I'm looking for (cylinder 'chamber' and piston
separately - same for new switches) and before I resort to hacking some files
I'd like to know if anyone can give me some pointers on how to do this.

Many thanks in advance.

You could simply just instruct to inline the compositions - if MLCad only could
inline parts! The only ways I know of would be to either
- inline them with LDraw Design Pad, which would be kind of tedious in my
opinion anyway, or
- open the composition file and see how it's made, which is how I'd do it.

No easier way in my field of view, sorry.
