Which pressure bleeder set?

I have just replumbed the brake system during the rebuild of my
series two and as part of the rebuild i have fitted a series 3
lwb servo and master cylinder, fitting a 200di with vacuum pump
would seem silly not!
I also have the twin leading shoe set up on the front and to
give me the best possible chance of getting most of the air out
i wanted to get a pressure bleeding set. I just wanted to make
sure that it will have a cap to fit my master cylinder. I have
the early single line master cylinder. Both my local halfrauds
and motor factors had none in stock to compare to!

Hmmm I have never felt the need to spend money on such a thing.
I know there are countless threads about brake bleeding so may
be luck has been with me. Most times I get away with gravity
bleeding and always a "good peddle"

....I personally swear by my Sealy vacuum bleeder.....makes the
job so much easier....just remember not to open the bleed
nipples very much if you do go down this route (too open and you
just suck air in through the threads)...ask me how I know
:haha:

I've got a Draper vacuum bleeder and TBH it's been useless with
series motors. The only helpful gizmo I've used is the Gunsons
Eezibleed:

IMHO you're best off g-clamping the wheel cylinders with a TLS
setup and stamping on the pedal with the bleed nipple closed a
load to break big air bubbles up, then push the fluid through
with the eezibleed.

I use an Eezibleed and had no issues bleeding TLS brakes with
it. Never had any luck doing the clutch with it though (I just
use a one-way valve contraption for that).

I've always used a Gunsons Eezibleed and never had a problem.

I have a pukka Professional thingumy, it was given to me a while
ago by a friend who sadly is no longer with us. He'd been a
truck mechanic and plant engineer.
After trying every technique and (cheap) tool known to man and
failing to get a good pedal, this thing really did the business.
I had an air free system in minutes.
Where are you based? If you aren't too far away I'm happy for
you to use it, I could help too.

After all i had read on bleeding the tls system I was expecting
a nightmare however using a syringe to back feed the fluid then
bleeding like normal has given a perfect pedal!
