[Healeys] Motive Products Power Bleeder

[Michael Salter]

As Mirek mentioned I struggled with the lod sealing problem for my Snap-on
pressure bleeder many years ago and finally solved the problem by making
this device. The spring clips are made from those from a very ancient ski
boot. It took a bit of work and ingenuity but has served me well for
decades.
