No, I have that part. Your picture shows the front of the cylinders. I need the rear part that the actual cylinder sleeves slide into. I will try to attach a picture. The part I need is on the far left and labeled "J". The part in your picture is on the far right and labeled with a "1" and a "2" with a circle around it.
I hope all of this makes sents.

If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.

Bottom.
Let me know if you need measurements.

Thanks so much! These pictures will really help. I can probably figure the measurements from the pieces that attach to it but if I  can't I'll post my needs here again.
Now to find appropriate materials to start construction.
Again, thanks for taking the time to send these pictures.

I've finally given up on trying to duplicate the part. I had it all planned out in my head but when it came down to actually building something it got to be way to complicated.
I found the part I needed on e-bay and sent away for it. It cost me almost as much as I had payed for the rest of the kit so now the whole thing isn't such a bargain. :'(

Sorry to hear it. That blows.
If you'd had the part to borrow you could've made a mold from it and cast it in resin.

If kits are still being made you can sometimes buy the needed part contacting customer service and showing them your part problem... Even if you arent the original purchaser/owner they can help.
But if it is not in production, then things get tougher...
