Hi listers
I have seen this done on a Dolomite Sprint (absolute sod to bleed[makes spit
look like walk in the park])
this does make bleeding a piece af cake according to the cars owner. I
cannot remember what fittings
were used to acheive the end result, possibly they were home made. It did
look well done.
