That's a Great Price, but I was wondering if you can get other adapters to use it on other cars........

Good price, but I made one from the plans provided on Corvette Forum (the other guys). I'm a DIY-kinda guy and I enjoyed the challenge.
Complete with pressure gauge. Maybe cost me $20. Looks and works great!

I made one too. Just haven't figured out a way to clamp it to the master cylinder other than BIG c clamps. Any other ideas? Looks like the bought ones use bolts, chains and bars for the top.longhorn294 2008-10-02 11:29:08
I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas... 
I did the same made on from a yard sprayer but cannot get any good seal on the master cylinder. that is the key part. Maybe a bulk buy like we did with the Steeroids?

I bought one from Summit Racing for about 80 bucks. Sounded like a good Idea but I could never get the Universal Cover to Fit the Master Cylinder tight enough to do anything. Ended up Bleeding it the way I always have by putting Clear Hose on the Bleeders and Pumping the Pedal by Hand. If I was to try it again I will make my own using a clear Plexiglass cover and a Pressure Regulator and my Air Compressor.

I was going to make one from the forum plans, and was wondering how to make the connection to the master cylinder. A friend suggested using an air hose quick connect. I JB-Welded it to an old cover. I then figured out that I didn't need anything else. I just turned down the pressure on my air compressor to five pounds and connected the quick connect. Works like a charm, and cost a few pennies.

I used an old MC cover with a fitting but it does not seam to hold a seal from cover to MC, using the pressure from the pump tank, never tried using the air flow from my compressure, which would give continued pressure, i quess I will have to try that next time
