Remote bleeder - Any issues?
I seem to remember some complaints a while back about the remote bleeders leaking at the bleed end, do I remember this wrong?
Also, some posted problems with the line rubbing through other things (fuel line was one), does anyone have a good routing for the line?
Want to order tonight so any input appreciated.

I did a google and came up dry, so mine is ordered. Sure hope I don't get 100 guys in here with problems now, although that appears to be how my luck runs
By the way, I polished the NW throttle body, came out beautiful

Mine Leaked!!
Mine leaked when I installed it in June. It was new from a forum vendor. After fighting woth it it seemed to stop. Now I'm putting in a new cartek clutch and I don't know if it will leak or not.

Remote Beleeder Leak
It leaked at the end where the bleeder is. No leaks at the T/O Brg.
It leaked all over my tunnel plate. But it made bleeding the clutch easy.

I tighten the crap out of the bleed screw and cover it w/ a vaccum cap for a finished look. No leaks.
I was the poor sap who had it rub through my fuel line while I was up in Nova (3.5 hrs from home) at a BBQ a few years back. It almost became a vette BBQ as my car was dumping fuel on my headers.
Wrap the bleed line in rubber hose and DEI cool tape and you'll be good to go.
That was a damn expensive tow bill
On the plus... it takes me about 3 min to bleed my clutch. I have it routed up behind the driver's side head rigth by the vaccum booster. It's zip tied to the black cable that runs along the fire wall, I think it's for the hood release.

Wow... where did it rub through at? I had a couple old DEI spark plug boots, I slipped them over mine and held them in place with zip ties

I bought mine from Charlie at RPM motors: http://rpm-motors-inc.com/
Figured since he was the originator of this item, then he should be honored by buying from him instead of the "copys" out there.

That's like saying that since Daimler invented the automobile, we should all buy Mercedes vehicles? That is the dumbest thing I ever heard!
