just wondering if anyone round south east queensland (northern nsw) has the nitrogen tank and regulator required to setup airshocks with? we'll be requiring one soon for a week or so to set them up and fine tune.
if anyone has the gear let me know and $$$'s and/or alcohol can be arranged

Ive got a tank and reg. So I could do whatever.
What are you guys wanting?? Are you wanting sombody to set them up or do you just want to use my tank and reg?

thanks for the offer sam, looks like we'll have to buy one cause of the initial leakdown and whatnot to get them sorted properly.

Probably the best bet cause they arnt the sort of thing that you just set up once and then forget about them.

Bought mine from place in Moss St just on the top side of the dog bend - Peal Industries i think.
Think the reg cost $350 or something.
Got the hose and fittings from just around the corner from them - may have been Enzed or some place similar.

Any supplier of hydraulic equipment should be able to sell you a Nitrogen precharging kit as the gas fitting/connection is the same system used on Hydraulic accumulators.
