Anyone have experience of these? In particular their ability to assist in clearing out a silicone fluid to replace with Dot4

I have an easibleed which is a great bit of kit.
I have done fluid flush and change loads of times using it and makes the job possible even if there is no additional assistance available.

If Gunsons dont do one then just get a spare cap and modify it

Not so easy to modify and when you add 16 euros postage makes for an expensive cap....

although I guesss it's just a case of grinding the ridge off the cap and drilling a hole.

Thanks all for that. Its a Sealey bleeder and arriving today so obviously not seen the instructions. However can you please expand on the need for a master cylinder cap. The car in question is a `55 MGTF.
Regards Jan
