Hi guys, before I start I just want to point out this is just a project, I have vacuum bleeders and know how to bleed brakes 50 other ways.... Now......
I believe air is escaping from the threads that screw the lid down... What have you guys got or used to seal the master cyl while adding pressure to it?
I'll add pictures ASAP with what I have
Pressure bleeder cap

Re: Pressure bleeder cap
I don't think that would work due to it having to hold around 10 psi or so

Re: Pressure bleeder cap
10psi is quite low.
but if you have threading issues. then you really need to look at replacing the worn old threaded parts.

Re: Pressure bleeder cap
I have no issues..... I'm using a pressure bleeder with a modified oem cap.... Just looking for how people seal the master cyl air tight.

Re: Pressure bleeder cap
Thread tape will work as a temp fix for much higher than 10psi.
