Hi everyone smee again 
I was doing some unrelated bench work last night when the hydraulic piston type thing that helps return the head of my bench top morticer into its raised position failed. I need to replace this part but as the machine is no longer supported in the UK (it's a Delta 14-651) I can't find the appropriate spare. I do think that it might be the kind of generic item that is used on cars and other machinery though but I don't know what it's called nor do I know where to look. I was hoping someone on here might be able to help point me in the right direction? Below are a few pics to help make up for my terrible description:
In the compressed position:
In the extended position:
The little threaded bits at either end are M6 and are what the fixings that attach it to the machine screw into. I know some will say "Delta - yuk" but it's actually a really good tool I have working well and I'd be gutted to have to scrap it.
Many thanks for reading and in advance for any help.
