Thanks and @JurekB
surprising how tough a little 15mm cylinder is, rated up to 400N apparently and I think with a little re-rig I should be able to tuck them out of sight.
Unless I've conpletely misjudged the forces at play here:
roughly 17kg of top = about 170N
3:7 lever ratio
= about 400N split between 2 pistons?

Gas struts. There is loads of stuff about them if you look at caravan/campervans.
