Hm... If one could find a tube of the same diameter it would be easy to cut the
original cylinders and insert some extra length. The stroke would still be
limited so the piston needs lenghtening too, that might be harder with the new
versions though.
Perhaps an all custom version can be made?
How about telescopic? (how do they retract those IRL?).
I need to think about this for a while...
