Pump for retract air
What do people use for pressurising the retract air cylinder? I'm installing my first set of Springair retracts and where I usually fly nobody uses retracts!

Over here in the Colonies, we use a 12V battery powered air compressor.

RE: Pump for retract air
Thats the one I have been looking for - saw it in a write up somewhere. Bet they are not available here in the "first world" 
Any chance of some details - manufacturer & model ?
I have seen bicycle shockabsorber pumps witha pressure gauge -- do these work?

RE: Pump for retract air
Rory, if ir will move air it will work 
I've used bike pumps, a robart pump, and have eventually switched to a 12V compressor cheaply available in automotive supply stores or similar accessory dealers. Might want to check on ebay, ive seen some really great buys there....
Regards

RE: Pump for retract air
i bought a couple of little tire pumps off of e-bay, for $1.99 american dollar. what i didnt catch was the 15 dollars each for shipping, ouch. but they work
use the 1/4 inch fill valve then you can use any stock 12 volt tire pump.

Being made in China I was fairly certain they would be available in the US and UK. Apparently not, only here in Australia. I have sent some to US and Kuwait. Perfect for the job. David Gladwin.
