Brake Bleeder Adapter

Post by pwrwagonfire »

Gentlemen,

I just picked up a nice older model pressure bleeder at a yard sale. I'd like to use it on my M-37...
Does anybody know where I can get the correct MC adapter?
Is there a part number I can order?

I have a newer replacement master cylinder on my truck, and I think the top was vented. I screwed an adaptor into that vent fitting hole and used my Motive power bleeder. It worked really well. I have about 5' of tubing on the fittings so I can have the power bleeder in the cab and have it reach the footboard location of the master cylinder

Thanks for the replies guys!
I was hoping that there might be an adapter with the same pipe thread somebody stumbled across.

I will see what I can rig up along the lines of the photograph below.

i have fabricated an adapter using a pipe thread adapter. I think it is 3/4" with a 1/4" hole then a 1/4" hose barb.
