Donovans we were separated by 1-2 seconds. That's not bragging rights That's just me taking it easy on my new front end

Yeah, but I bet WHEN Rick does get a nomex suit, it'll have "Nitro-C5--Rick Bell" embroidered on it

Default Brake Bleeder Cap

Rick, you must have an entire library of potentially embarrassing photos. It was like they were staged just for your evil purposes!!!.

Anyway, DashZ06, I was lucky to find that my friend back in NJ had a special pressure cap for the C5. Now that I have it, I will put together an assembly that has a regulator, gauge, and moisture filter. If all works OK we will have a setup to pressure bleed our brakes at hi-speed track sessions. Here is a pic of the cap (the black one is the C5). I am thinking this rig could even be run off of a tire's pressure since we will only require 15-20 lbs.

I have a motive power bleeder. The adapter that came with it does not seal around the master cyl.
I need to order the right piece.
The adapter you have looks like it would work. Might be able to fabricate a pesticide sprayer to that adapter and make a power bleeder.

Dash,

If the "universal master cylinder" cap on the Motive doesn't fit correctly, you can buy a C5 M/C cap from Chevy and put a barb fitting in it. I did that to my power bleeder (lawn sprayer) and it works real well.
