Haven't gotten it done yet, I just deal with them often enough to know what a piece of braided line costs (hell, look at summit too, it is only like $14 there lol) and know what straight thread to AN fittings go for (I am in the manufacturing industry myself). I was hoping to just find someone who had them at a reasonable price so I could just put it in while I had the trans out for the clutch without having to pull the trans, run down to him to get the stuff made and then come back home to reassemble it all. It looks like I'm going to have to go that route though. I thought about having them made and selling them, but really don't want to deal with it, I have a full plate as it is. PM me if you want and if I get one made, maybe I'll just do a couple for others at the same time.

That's what I was hoping to do too, but being in the industry, I just can't bring myself to pay those prices when I know what the parts cost. Hell, it killed me to pay $129 for my MAF "scattershield" too, I can have them knocked out all day long by my machinist for ~1/3 that, but just didn't want to bother with it. Sometimes I wish I was just a typical consumer and had no knowledge of the actual manufacturing costs- life would be a lot easier .

Ours is only $75. After buying all the parts, we only make ~$10 on each one.

Check out this thread. You can make your own remote bleeder for under $50

Sent a PM to Steve-D. He hasn't sent a post in almost a year, and I need this remote bleeder to get here before NEXT friday. If he PM's me, and can still get the parts kit together, I'll be using his kit. I'm re-posting in the chance that he doesn't use LS1 tech anymore. Kinda crunched for time. Bought a LS7 clutch kit w/ LS7 flywheel, Master/Slave/Pilot bearing. Should be here this coming Monday, and I'll be taking it to the shop that following weekend. It would be nice to do the bleeder at the same time. Thanks guys.

You can try the sponsor Tick Performance also. They sell remote bleeders but were backordered when I ordered parts from them a few weeks ago.
