Default Remote slave cylinder bleeder valve

Does anyone know what vendor sells a remote line/ bleeder valve for the slave cylinder to ease the clutch bleeding process in the future?

The C6 slave cylinder isnt the same as the C5. Are you sure the bleed kit will fit our slave?

its really easy to make one--an angled brass fitting + a steel braided line of whatever length you like[mine is about 16 inches] and a bleeder fitting. I mounted the bleeder end on the left side fender well away from the headers. Works great and took all of about 10 minutes to make and cost less than 5 bucks in materials.

Please tell us WHERE you found this "angled brass fitting". The issue with finding these, is that the thread size in the slave is the same as a BLEEDER. No one seems to make the "fitting" in bleeder size threads. That's why we have a model that's 3 years old, and nobody as yet sells one of these extenders commercially.
