Has anyone used one of these on a 1979 Bay? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-VS8...F14XHYSM1VR&psc=1&refRID=S5MYKG2K3F14XHYSM1VR Iam thinking of getting one but can't find any info on whether it will fit on a VW fluid reservoir!
Looks very similar method to the Gunson one I use. Might just have to buy a separate cap to fit the bay reservoir. Only thing I would caution on is not to use too much pressure, particularly if still the original reservoir. Split reservoir with large amount of fluid under pressure makes a lot of mess!
Was going to say Gunson Easybleed at £20 mark.....or rubber tubing with a one way valve and a jam jar.
They're v. good for purging the whole system, but you'll need to buy a spare reservoir cap and make an adaptor (two tap washers).
I’ve never had much luck or seen anyone else have any with any of these pressure type kits. A bit of tube and a jam jar or if your on your own a bit of pipe with a one way value works. I saw even the F1 teams use a bit of pipe and jar with someone sat in the seat saying up/down
Yup I use a plastic water bottle.. With a piece of tube Make the tube go uphill to the bottle. .then air won't get drawn back in, drill a hole in the cap to hold the tube..
I've got a Gunson one, but it's basically a bit of rubber tube and a plastic jam jar...on a plus note, it's 20+ years old and the rubbers still fine !
No , not that rubber pipe and jam jar thingy, I got a Gunson <<<see capital G with the pressure thing so you don’t have to climb that mountain whilst pumping that pedal. Ozziedog,,,,,,,, serious pumping no gee
Thanks Mr Snotty, great idea - got one (cap that is) from GSF for £3.36 delivered with 60% off using hey60
Here's my lash-up. Seems to hold pressure. Note use of tap washers . Only thing that may be a problem is the right-angle connector - it's pretty close to the metalwork if your reservoir is under the seat. Can get a straight one from Sealy, tho'
