I had a machined Kawa AR50 pot that was held in by the circlip...it didn't cost a lot, but it was already machined when it came to me, worked alright though
see below:
I never had the dust cap on though as you can see...but dont see why you couldn't modify one slightly to allow the hose to enter/exit

If any one knows Foxy, who used to post on the lcgb site, he does them reasonably cheap. Think about £45.

Yes, like the one that LTH advertise - only that they´re out of stock.
The scootRS -thingy does not fit under the i-cap. I have one off Foxy, but that leaks badly and needs mending or replacing and I understand Foxy has stopped doing them anyway.
Have asked CS (ta Mark), hopefully he can sort me out.
Thanks so far. Any more suggestions ?

The LTH one are the same that the Foxy one, i think. Are you sure that the Foxy one leaks badly and needs mending or replacing? because i have one that i want to put in a next project.

yes it leaks. unfortunately, cause I quite liked the design and it worked OK. haven´t dismantled it yet, so don´t know why. remember though that when I slapped the cylinder into the palm of my hand the piston with o-rings assembled would fall out. I´ve never seen that with any other hydraulic cylinder / piston assembly, most u could barely move with your hands alone and were a much tighter fit. maybe it´s just the one that I have, just my luck.
