saw these
http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/produ ... cts_id=138
and thought they could be useful
I know they are on a motorbike website but they could be fitted to a mini if you could get the right size

BTW what size are Mini bleed nipples and are they the same size for each application Brakes / Clutch ???

Sounds great! Would hate to have one fail though....

Mine are different from rear drums to front discs to booster.....Another way to make bleeding annoying lol

They used to be available from Mini specialists in the UK back in the '70s. I've got them on my Cooper S and they are still working fine.

Simplify and add lightness

it's not any different to a normal bleeder, so would be no more likely to fail. Think of it as a normal bleeder with a check valve inside. When the bleeder is tightened, it's mechanically sealed and the check valve doesn't do anything

booster should be the same as discs, and drums are different front to rear so fitting those isn't a lot different to the standard setup

discs and clutch are 3/8UNF, can't remember what the rears and front drums are

You could always go about it this way instead. http://www.ezebleeder.net/

ive done the same as the ez bleeder, but with a Tom Thumb pump from autobarn only cost a few bob, and you can use the pump for any vehicle fluid, only problem is you can push dirt from the bleed screw into the brakelines, better to go from the top
