I'd like to get a tank of N2 to keep around to fill my struts. I assume
the welding supply place that will sell me the tank can sell me a regulator
that will get me into the 300-500psi range (right?). Where can I get
the hose with appropriate (schraeder?) valve for the strut end? Am I
looking for something that will thread on, or does it clamp on like a
bicycle pump? With a clamp-on type, how do you avoid being sprayed with
oil and losing pressure as you disconnect?

The end of the hose threads on (not clamp on). It doesn't have anything
to push the shraeder valve open. The tank pressure opens the valve.
When you're done, you turn off the tank valve and start removing the hose.
It'll hiss, but the sudden drop in pressure on the tank side of the valve
closes the valve. You don't lose pressure (or, atleast, a minimal
amount).
