Thanks for the instructions, these are my first air retracts, helped a lot. Yesterday evening I finally had a glance at the instructions and found that my retracts are indeed new version. I have quickly put the system together and used a bicycle pump to pressure the system. It worked ok, actuator was/is a little stiff but other than that I did not have any problems. I left the system under pressure whole night and I could cycle the retracts 4-5 times in the morning, I guess it is not leaking (I don't have a pressure gauge, so I can't exactly tell how much air is in). I hope it will remain airtight with the engine running. I guess I will give a try to the stock retracts, I can always switch back to electrics later if I find a showstopper bug.
