What is a good brake bleeder device?
What is that you are using for the seal on the MC? Looks like cork.
Well, I would guess that if your running constant pressure at 10 to 15psi that you'll need and airtight seal on the master. Not sure if cork would provide an airtight seal. I think the motive uses rubber.

Hmmmm that may be a problem....:crap:
The Motive bleeder for example has received good feedback but since it's the same design I doubt it's any better than my homemade bleeder. Sealing the lid on the reservoir is the one and only tricky part - I'm using a aluminum plate and soft rubber. Instead of the hose clamps you can use one or two C-clapms, that's up to you.
All you need is something that forces the fluid thru the system, you can either suck on the bleeder with a vacuum device or pressurize the reservoir.
I do not like using air to pressurize the reservoir because you cannot see the fluid level inside the reservoir and re-filling the reservoir while you're trying to bleed the system is a pain - IMO it's way more convenient to have the pressurized container supply fluid instead of air.

Especially if you completely flush the whole system before bleeding, which is a good thing to do on a regular basis.
Unless you doing DOT5 like me...then it's a one stop shop....I can't see all that screwing around when most any brake reservoir top can be drilled and done my way....most other cars do well with gravity anyway....these sharks are another PIA though, no question,
:bomb:
