If you're careful and take your time, it's pretty easy (especially if you have a helper).

Ultimate Motorwerks will be offering (shortly)brand new hydraulic wing cylinder cartridges.. I have re-designed the hydraulics to include using 17-4 stainless which allows long term serviceability (I can polish the bore for "years" of service), larger pistons, thicker cylinder walls to prevent distortion due to "HEAT" soak (sitting over the exhaust isn't kind) and more important>serviceability.. Being able to tear them apart and rebuild them for a dollar worth of high grade/high temp VITON orings and nylon packing

http://ultimatemotorwerks.com/wingcylinders.html

I am testing the new cylinders. I am in the midst of production and will post when I am ready to receive new orders. I am really excited for the new product and being able to service "our wings" well into the future.

These have become popular for use as sex toys by the ruling elite in N. Korea. As a result, there has been a backlog on ordering, but they should be available to the general public very soon!

Here is a set of pictures for the Ultimate Motorwerks hydraulic wing cylinders. A few years ago, I set out to build a conversion kit that would allow anyone to replace the failing hydraulic seals.
Over time I realized that the factory extruded brass (the material was to soft) did not respond well to honing and did not keep a perfect bore.
The factory wing cylinder was swaged at both ends. This restricted the access to the seals. My design allow for easy access and replacement.

Due to "world events" this build took way too much time and money in engineering, design and manufacturing. The main cylinder body diameter has been increased to prevent bore distortion from heat and stress. The wall thickness has nearly tripled..
Most industrial hydraulics use steel and stronger materials vs brass. I selected 17-4 stainless (strength and corrosion resistance) and heat treated the material to 1150 (maximum strength) and decided to gun drill all the cylinder bores. This process will give the cylinder a straight bore from the top to bottom.
Once the bore was drilled the bore was finished honed to a spec that will allow the perfect seal.





The above pictures show the new wing cylinder cartridge installed in the wing cylinder ram assy. And pictures showing the factory brass cylinder cartridge next to the Ultimate Motorwerks wing cylinder.
Pricing will be broken down to, Fully assembled Wing cylinder ram assemblies. And, Complete "turn key" Hydraulic wing systems which will include the assembled wing cylinder ram assemblies, hydraulic lines and pump assembly.
