Is this a stock item that can be picked up at my FLAPS or where do I find one? Personally, I use a Motive Power Bleeder model 0100 but here are links to 3 different homemade power bleeders for those who are considering making one: http://scirocco.dhs.org/cheapassron/CheapassPressureBleeder/index.html http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm http://bworks.net/vw/bleeder/info.htm The master cylinder reservoir cap is 45mm and they are available new from places like BusDepot. I've not found one on the shelf at a FLAPS but you might get lucky. Another source is a wrecking yard as other vehicles use a 45mm cap too, such as, Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Fiat, Mercedes, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, SAAB, Volkswagen, and Volvo. Mike |
