Speed bleeders are great. Bought 2 from Napa and a couple more came with my J55 setup. I could never get the things to seal correctly so I always put back in the original bleeder screw valve when I’m done bleeding.
I noticed one day that the original bleeder had a longer thread shank thus allowing it to go deeper into the caliper and contact the seat tightly. Don’t know if anyone has had this situation also. It does not matter to me, I don’t need to bleed that often.
The speed bleeders also work great on my Chevy truck.

I have the ones from VBP and to do over I would get the DRM ones. I only got the VBP ones cause they were having a sale. The bolts are too short for the front calipers, and the VBP ones use the banjo bolt, where DRm uses -AN fittings.

no need to be an ***. The pic I saw on DRM was not the same one I'm seeing now (3 lines with the caliper) The pic I saw when I looked it up before posting that they looked identical, down to the yellow o-rings in the photo.

Our lines are built to our specs by Goodridge, the custom order is the reason for the extra cost. We could sell the off the shelf brake line kit. But that isn't the setup that we like to run.
Damn it, I had a feeling the 4th line was going to look hidden
If you guys have any questions about our stuff please let me know.

I'll keep it in mind when I am done with my clutch and get ready for my brake upgrade
