For those considering a MityVac, there are at least 3 different kits. I got
the best deal at a local parts chain store (you know the kind - you tell
them you have a Triumph TR6 and they ask who makes that).
I second Alan's reply about sealing the threads on the bleed nipple. To
make a larger fluid container, take a plastic bottle (I used an apple juice
bottle) and put two holes in the top. Use two of the tapered adapters from
the kit and wedge them in the holes. You loose having a hose end in the
fluid, which you can compensate for by elevating the hose.
I don't use the MityVac for the clutch. I use the method at:

The MityVac is also useful as a vacuum gauge.
