Anyone tried to make a custom LT1 clutch line bleeder?
I'd like to get one made to make bleeding a lot easier. Would be a good maintenance item to perform at the beginning of the race season.
I'm thinking to put a "T" fitting at the slave cylinder. One leg of the T goes to the slave, one leg goes to the MC and the last leg is the bleeder line.
May have to take off the factory one and bring it to a hydraulic fitting shop to see what I can piece together.
Instead of the dark fitting being 90*, make it a "T" fitting
you should be able to find a brass T to rig it up as you describe....but IDK if in the position that T would be in would allow bleeding for the slave so much. Maybe if you unbolted the slave to let it hang down.
Having bench bleed and done MC & slave replacements on my LT1 I certainly agree that a more "user friendly" way of doing this would be of benefit
So go for the Beta system and see how well it works.
