Thanks, but i need to know what to use for a good seal (material) and if it HAS to be filled from behind the piston.

no it does not. If you use a spring, you can fill from the chamber. However, for simplicity's sake, as well as sealing issues, I would reccommend that you fill from behind it.

For a sealing face, I use 1/8" neoprene off of mcmaster.
