Ok I think that I understand your machine a little more thoroughly now. The pencil drawing helped a bunch. In my opinion, to make your hydraulic actuator work you should make your hub larger in diameter by machining out more of the "flywheel." This way you will have more room for some sort of mount on the underside of the cylinders and journal to control their position. Another benefit will be increased bearing surface which will mean stronger assemblies with longer overhaul lives.
