You need to follow the instructions to use them safely - and have some common sense. They'll then bleed 'difficult' braking or clutch setups with ease - and with only one person.

The price is a lot more than a cap from a scrapyard :)
Just me not getting round to going yet....

I've tried them several times, on several cars, following instructions to the letter, using nice low pressures, making the seals as good as I could. They still pissed brake fluid everywhere - its the seals between the pipes and the cap, rather than those between the cap and reservoir, which are crap.
I have now allowed experience to triumph over hope.
Ever bled the front brakes on a DS? Now that's easy:
1) Put plastic tubes on bleedniplles and stick other ends into LHM reservoir2) Open bleed nipples
3) Start engine4) Press brake button for a bit
5) Stop engine, close nipples, remove pipes.Ian
Cut them off and remake. I've just used my pretty old one again after doing a re-build on the SD1 callipers. No leaks.
Indeed - the 1.65" will certainly do for the TR7's clutch cylender, as it's the same as used on the SD1. I suspect the brake cylender will be similar.
However, I've now secured a stooge for saturday, so we can do it the old fashined way (i.e. cheap :-)
Ta for the info!
