Applemac did you actually build one of these?

We are making remote bleeders for the clutch. With this bleeder you can run it up to the engine compartment or out under the car to bleed the clutch. It also has a speed bleeder on the end so it's a one man operation to bleed the clutch. We are only getting top of the line parts to make them. One of the problems with making them is getting the fitting for the slave cylinder that will seal and not leak since it's not a machined surface. We have found what they call a bonded washer that will seal under high pressure to use on the fitting. We have also found a sealant to use on the threads that will not break down from the brake fluid. This provides a double seal for the fitting. We will be selling them for $75 with Free Shipping. Here's some pictures of them.

Im glad someone actually knows what they are ordering. Sorry you had to waste $100.
if I had known that this was going to be such a pain I would have just ordered the kit!! I can't seem to find a -4an x 3/8 female bubble flare fitting anywhere. I am going to have to try and machine the inverted flare fitting. I am pissed. I can't take the parts back either. I now live 3.5 hours away from the speed shop that I got the parts from. ahhhhh!!! See what happens when you try to save a buck. Someone needs a beating!
That's why we spent months trying to find all the parts that work perfectly together. We ran across a few setups that may or may not have worked but that wasn't good enough we wanted a set up that was perfect. We finally found all the parts to make a perfect setup. So far we have sold over 50 of these setups with only one problem. One customer had a bleeder fitting leaking and it turned out to just be a bad bleeder valve. LS1 Tech Stories

However they are out there. I used Pegasus 3265-19 Female 10 x 1.0mm Metric Concave Seat to 4AN, Steel . then I bought a 10mmx1.0 bleed valve from napa. The bleed valve was $2.00 the fitting was like $5. My whole remote bleeder was around $40. Doing it myself didn't save a lot of money but I did learn a lot.
From my reading for high pressure lines like the clutch and brakes aluminum fittings are not recommended. All fittings I used in my set up are steel.
The parts I used starting at the slave cyl are.
1. 10mm crush washer
2. -4 to 10mmx1.5 metric adapter (Aeroquip FCM2967 or Goodridge 305-04-35P)
3. 36" of -4 teflong brake line with Straight/Straight Swivel fitting ends (BL-6104-36) 36" is probably too long.
4. Female 10x1.0mm Metric concave seat to -4 Steel (pegasus part# 3265-19)
5. 10mmx1 bleed screw (bought at NAPA).
Part 4 and 5 could have been any thread that matched and not 10mmx1.0
Here is a link to a blog of mine with more info on what I did for mine. http://www.ls1bmw.blogspot.com/

part#4 I did not see available at Summit. Perhaps you have the wrong part.
See link http://ls1bmw.blogspot.com/2007/06/c...leed-line.html for how the parts are layed out.
