Default K Plane hydraulic fitting available lengths? Part numbers? suppliers?

Does any one know if you can get longer hydraulic fittings? What I am specifically looking for are the tubs that go from the K plane to the inside of the transom in 1" to 2" longer.
Thanks in advance
Steve

Assuming you have room to work, you could countersink at the tab fitting with a 1-2" hole saw. Then waterproof the exposed wood with small pc of glass and resin.

We had a setup like that Ben. It seemed good but did not hold up to the Cocoa Beach race! Need to plate them inside and they are short already. We bent all the bolts etc tabs pulled away the boat almost sank after we crossed finish line!
Thanks
Steve
