I have an 82 Ford e150 van and im thinking i could get a master cylinder cap, the metal kind and install a fitting to accept the tube. What do you think?
I don't see the purpose in using the valve of the sprayer nozzle. That just makes you have to hold the lever, or zip tie it, to ensure fluid flow which kinda defeats the purpose of this time and frustration saving tool. Also, the inside nipple, if you make it as long as the distance to the "Max" fill line from the top of the reservoir for whatever vehicle you're servicing, when you remove it from the master cylinder the fluid will be at the proper level and you won't have to sneak off with the wife's turkey baster to remove excess fluid. Regardless of my opinions, great video. Thank you.
Excellent! Say goodbye to the ole pump pedal; hold it (board against seat works); open screw/collect fluid/close screw; check fluid level...YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?? Add to the job the fact my knees are weak and give me a very hard time getting up and down from the bleed screws. u can't seal yp the leaks in the hoses to the Mighty Vac. So I plan to make this pressure bleeder system. Thank you sir!
Thanks Dan you made a great video, simple and direct and short. I'm building one today!
Awesome I made one myself thanks for the Jim cap idea since I am a plumber...
The unit you put together was nicely done . I picked up several pointers from your presentation . Thanks a lot.
Excellent work bro thanks.
Nice work, I need to make one of these
Thank you,
I wish I would have made this sooner. It works great!
Take care,

That's great for newer master cylinders, but what if you have the old steel dual reservoir style, like I have on my 84 GMC pickup?

Use a old master cylinder cap and tap it with the fittings you'll already have the gasket from the mc cap

Be persistent in exploring all of the options you have available. Cheers!
Nice, thank you.
Do you have the video of the results. I just want to see how the clamp worked on the master cylinder
I used it in this video:

I still use it. It works great.
You can buy a purpose built pressure bleeder on flea bay or Ama with 1 year warranty for £22. It has many other items a cap why would you bother?
where did you get the cap from?
I got it at Home Depot, it's just a standard plumbing rubber cap.
Thanks for watching!
