Inside dia. is the same in both cylinders. 4712 Legacy cylinder Barrell length........7 15/16" stroke................5 7/16" rod dia...............1/2" overall length rod fully extended...........15 1/2" HC-01 320/360 cyinder Barrell Length.....8 5/8" stroke..............6 1/8" rod dia.............3/8" overall length rod fully extended...........17 1/4" =20 Hope this helps some, Vern =20 ------=_NextPart_000_0000_01C4FFD2.55A44320 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi Ian,
 Ok I took some measurments of both the Legacy cyl and the 320/360 = cyl
and here's the comparison. Inside dia. is the same in both = cylinders.

4712 Legacy cylinder Barrell length........7 15/16"
            &= nbsp;           &n= bsp;          stroke................5 7/16"
            &= nbsp;           &n= bsp;          rod dia...............1/2"
overall length rod fully extended...........15 1/2"

HC-01 320/360 cyinder Barrell Length.....8 5/8"
            &= nbsp;           &n= bsp;           &nb= sp; stroke..............6 1/8"
            &= nbsp;           &n= bsp;           &nb= sp; rod dia.............3/8"
overall length rod fully extended...........17 1/4" 
 Hope this helps some,
Vern           &nb= sp;           &nbs= p;
