Hi if you buy the new dynamite expanders these dont need pumping at all, give them ago. Regarding the dual core elastic i have been using both Maver and Preston hollo elastics and i would recommend fitting an internal bush and and a adjustable bung and a relevant large size connector unless your confident with a crows foot.
