Looks like a small hydraulic cylinder. Not sure where you would get a small one like that. Maybe one like they use for RC cars?

I know that the Jeep Grand Cherokee has one. You might be able to strip one off of a junk car, buy buying new would probably cost even more, and it might be too overpowered. You could also use a hydraulic door closer for a storm door.

I shutted down Akula in its present form today...

the next time he may live, water will flow thru his copper artery.


im writing from my friend's "Beast" as we have stability issue with Vista 64 i am to "use" it for the next week, to find and correct any problems, in the meantime i will work on Akula
