If you find a kit let me know.

I can make them up using rams and some fab work but havent got time to chase the parts.

most people just use a simple air ram, should be quite easy to get from a hydraulics shop or something and operate it using a locker solenoid

They look like they'd to the job quite well. reliability would be the only question.
