Default McLeod slave bleeder extension?

I've got the McLeod scatter shield and can't get to the slave bleeder, I think McLeod makes a SS braided extension that fits on the slave. I'm curious if anyone is using it. If it works I guess the tranny has to come out again.

Hi,

I developed a remote slave cyl bleeder. I race Stock Cars and have a Tilton race clutch and it comes with the remote bleeder. I became tired with the marginal results with the GM extended bleeder and decided to develop my own.

It consists of (from the slave to the end):
* adapter to screw into the slave;
* 14 inch stainless steel braided hose;
* adapter at end of hose to accept one
* Earls Solo Bleeder; and
* One Adel clamp to mount the hose to a bolt, screw or pop rivet.

It works fine and with the Earls solo bleeder it can be a one man operation.

If a user wants a longer line, I can provide a union to adapt a second brake line and thereby increase the length to approximately 35 inches.

Here is the link providing pricing details and s/h info. Let me know if there are any other Q's.

It truly can be a one man operation for bleeding the system:

* Crack the Earls Solo bleeder;
* Pump pedal several times;
* Tighten the Earls Solo bleeder, clean up, secure the line and let the car down.

Thats it!

Steve

I recently bled mine thru the resovouir using a mityvac and it was quick and easy and it can be done without any help!
