I love the idea, I literally smacked myself on the forehead after reading your post... It made me feel foolish for not thinking of it first
In 2013 I did essentially this, and solved the problem by not attaching the cylinder to the module, it literally just pushed on a standoff, worked great.
(Spring pulled the module back up, reducing air consumption as well)
