Has anyone tried using the pumps as valves? IIRC, the first (red?)
pneumatic valves only had the bottom pip for an air hose. If you remove the
spring for the pump, might it work the same way?
The pumps are kind of wide (and long) for suspension parts, but they might
look cool on a supercar size vehicle...
