Pumping up suspension

[williamt]

Anyone know an easy way to pump up suspension... I.e with something lying around... Ive seen a pump on E bay.. Never did it before but think its probably not worth travelling anywhere to have it done when I can buy a pump.. but Maybe there is an easy way to do it... Easy when you know how... Not so much when you don't....

Well, it seems they can be made at home. But getting all the parts could be awkward....

Anyone here used antifreeze and distilled water to top up system

I thought about making some, but bought a can of Carlube Hydrolastic fluid in a motor factors.

Friend of mine made one with an old pedal box and a brake master cyclinder,I'll see if I can get a picture of it.

Thanks appreciate it... I've a notion I'm going to try using an old external fuel pump.... You know the ones that look like a coil on a mini... If I can get fittings for it... Should be a quick way... As seems people say. Pumping with grease gun is time consuming... Might be a handy wee piece of kit if I get made up
