Make one.
It is not hard, you just need a master cylinder or a grease gun! (I prefer the master cylinder) and a high pressure hose and fitting.

Here's mine- clutch MC mounted on an upturned Fiat 124S pedal box..

This link might be a good place to start if you want to make one yourself (grease gun style but you can substitute a master cylinder) ... http://members.cox.net/oldertech/hydrolastic.html If you are not so keen on making one ask around I was surprised to find two within reasonable reach of my home town so there are some around, maybe...

I was trying to, I don't mind making one, but for the one or two times I'll ever use it I was hoping to find one nearby. I can appreciate though that there won't be many in WA so I'll probably make one

You might need to use it more often than you think!! Whenever a subframe comes out, changing upper suspension arms or pins, or knuckle joints, if a hydro bag gives out (as they do sometimes), if the lines get rusted, or if you are just wanting to change the fluid. You would be amazed at the amount of rust in (mostly) 30+ year old hydro fluid. Well worth the efort I reckon!! I made one from a grease gun, it takes a little while, but you have good control. (15-20 minutes per side from completely empty.) Cheers Matt |
