I bought the SpeedBleeder brand bleed screw a couple months back.
(http://www.speedbleeder.com) Worked fine for me. Made bleeding an easy
one-man job, and I've got a nice and firm clutch. I don't know the 1500
setup though.
No financial interest. Just happy to take some of the headache out of
bleeding a clutch.
Email me off-list with any questions, John.
