Good point jack, but now I have a better idea.
Go to a $2 shop and buy somthing like this:
I used to be able to buy cheap versions of these for about $2. If you cut the end off the pump it would give you a good piston and a tube that it fits perfectly in. Best of all it should have fairly low drag.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
