Auto Break Bleeder

I read the post about making a brake bleeder out of a garden sprayer. Immediately went to Home Depot and bought the 1/2 gal sprayer (hand held) and the rest of the pieces. Then went to the local metal supplier and picke up a 3/8" piece of scrap aluminum for $5. I am cutting a section off the alum and drilling and tapping the hole for a plastic pipe nipple. I am putting two holes on the side of the plate to attach it to any type of master cyclinder (where is the spell checker now), I am using a gasket material to seal the plate. This way I can use the bleeder on all my vehicles.
 
DUH! I never even thought about that! Pressure bleeders are my favorite type and I haen't been able to find a cheap one yet.. thanks for the idea.
 
Where did that link go?

Thought I had it but seems to be amoung the missing.
 
Look at the post Mater Brake Bleeder and click on Here. The whole story is there. I used the hand held one without a hose and added a compression insert through a hole I drilled in the nozzle piece. If it leaks use an J B Weld to seal. I am using chains attached to the aluminum to go arouns the cylinder and threaded J bolts to tighten up the other end.
 
Thanks, that's the next thing on my list.
 
I can't wait to get my brakes rebuilt so I can make one of these bleeders.
Thanks
