So I want to make or get a pressure bleeder.
Mainly for my dads 944 and my 240sx/300zx.
Id like one of the ones that pressurizes the BMC. Any tips on what to look for, or an article to build one?
I know there's been a topic on it here before, but I need to go be productive out side. TIA!!

I built one for the Capri with a garden sprayer from Ace Hardware. I just got an extra cap, put a hole in it and added a nipple sealed wtih RTV. Works great.
The Capri cap screws on and sealed well. It would be harder on my Toyotas with rubber caps. But that's all there really is to it.

I've done just fine without a gauge.
Gunston, or Guniston ones are frequently on sale for like $40. Come with a zillion different reservour caps to fit just about anything imported.
That said, about all I do with mine is make a mess. I can't ever get it to seal well, and fluid squirts out everywhere.
Now imports all have seperate plastic reservours sitting on top. Old domestic master cylinders, with their cast in reservours, those I could seal. With chains and turnbuckles. But the plastic ones honestly defeat me.
After I get done making a mess for a while I give up and go grab a can and my trusty 2' of plastic tubing. That always works.

works great!
You can buy a premade one for about what building one with a gauge costs. I made mine though, and use it often.
