    Followed his post and built my own. Works very well. Prices for the parts have gone up a little, but I love to DIY, so it was worth it. I did vary slightly, and used a cheap tire gage (dial) with the valve mechanism removed and hose clamped on.
    Three Minis succesfully bled/flushed. It worked on my clutch slave too!

    I have some old Scotts weed-killer containers sitting around, like those green ones you get at the store. Bet those would work too. :lol:
