Purchased a speed bleeder from a sponsor here.
Trying to figure out if this is going to seal properly or not.
The factory bleeder has a convex nipple protruding from it that goes
into the slave into a concave female style snug fit to seal it perfectly.
The speed bleeder I bought has a concave fitting and the slave has a concave hole to thread into.![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)
Is this going to seal properly ?? There's going to be roughly a 3/8" gap between the fittings now inside the slave.
There is a copper crush washer but I would have thought it would be convex to concave to seal properly.
