Speed Bleeder's! Ok guys and gals, here is something I just found today and thought was really neat.
I am at Indianapolis at the Parts Unlimited Dealershow, it is a dealership show for the powersports industry (dirtbikes, streetbikes, atv's, etc.) It is similar to the SEMA show, but just for the powersports industry. Anyway, as I was roaming through the floor I came across a product called Speed Bleeders. They are brake bleeder that have a spring loaded ball inside them. It allows the air and fluid out, but not back in. This way you can bleed your brakes by yourself. He had the stuff for motorcycles there, but it was all based of thread size and such, meaning it could for automotive uses.
He listed the thread pitch and overall length for each valve they make. I am not sure on what size our brake bleeders are... but I have a feeling one of these will work.
Also, they make them in Polished 303 stainless steel.
I am not sure if I can post the link, so I will list the metric sizes they offer and yall let me know if they will work. If you are interested, I can PM you the link. Here are some pictures of the product. If this has already come up let me know so I am not giving yall old info.
I hope this helps some people out. Like I said, just let me know if yall wantthe link. I would post it, but I don't want to get in trouble for that.
It is made by Speed Bleeder, so my suggestion would be to Google it. On their site is says automotive sizes available.

Looking at the pics on Thunder Racing's site, the Earls Solo Bleeders are a slightly different design. I know I've seen those Speed Bleed units before though.
Here is a cutaway of Earls Solo Bleeds installed:
