I've no problem with you passing on the details. The interesting thing if you're corner weighting is to modify your hydragas pump so that you can pump up both sides at once. The weights are balanced hydraulically, so you get even weights consistently side to side without any real effort. Even if you want to work diagonally it's a good starting point and idea, as you can fit ball valves to either side and save yourself some time, and fluid.

Thanks Jim - I was going to do just that - using a brass Y-piece and an extra "low loss" union. In fact I had not intended in individualising the hydragas spheres on my car (although I have hydraulic lock downs to fit) - so such a hydraulic set up should reveal identical hydraulic pressures to all four spheres from one pump sequence?
