I made one from a spare cylinder. Modified one end of it to fit the pin on the rocker arm. Clevis on the other end didn't even have to be modified to connect to the lift arm. Added two short hoses + couplers from TSC. Should have done it years ago. It's simple if you already have a remote valve.

G'day Gabby, is there any chance of a closer shot of your home made tilt cylinder?

Last year I posted some pictures of my homebrew set up...

There are also some links listed in the first post that have a lot of useful info.

It is here for anyone that is interested:

Thanks Henro, a very thorough & informative thread to say the least.
Thank you very much for taking the time to put it all together, let alone the time that it took you to complete the project itself including the frustrating hose delays that you experienced too.

All the very best,
Buzz
