Question Hood gas lifts

My E-M originally had gas spring lifts for the hood instead of a prop rod. I have looked everywhere for replacement cylinders and have come up empty. All of the over the counter stuff is too stiff at ~ 200 - 300 pound lift meant for steel hoods and tail gates. I probably need something on the order of 50 - 60 pounds given the weight of a typical Cobra hood. Does anyone have any idea of where I might find a set of gas cylinders?
