one day a few years ago I was thinking about making brake job easier.
Went to local farm store and got a 1 gallon spray jug and made a 1/4 inch thick steel plate to cover master cylinder. glued a rubber gasket to one side and drilled 2 holes in it, drilled and tapped for 1/4 inch hose to pipe fitting. Hooked hoses to a pipe T and attached to jug. I also added a
pressure gage. Now I can pump up to a few pounds pressure and bleed
each brake line with no drips and no errors. It might have cost me 10
bucks total. Something for you to do on a lazy day. I hold it on with a C-clamp. Steve
