Just saw this product for bleeding brake calipers without the fiddly bleed valves: APRacing .

Have you tried them? I wonder if they can be fitted to Porsche (Brembo) brake calipers....

Geoffrey

yes they can, but you really don't want to know the price of them...

I like the idea of no air getting in when vaccuum bleeding (and getting more cool parts on my car) but not sure what the parts pictured do.

The bottom left seems to be what you screw in where the old bleeder was.
The bottom right seems to be a plug for when you are not bleeding.

Whay's the big grey thing on top?



Hey Geoffrey, you still want some cup tires?

That is the female part the goes over the male brake fitting. You can either connect it to a vacuum source, or connect it to a catch can as a drain for pressure bleeding.

And yes, tell us Geoffrey, how much does it cost?

Geoffrey

Mike,

Yes I do

Larry, very, very expensive. The Staubli dry break I put on my clutch line was over $200 and I would imagine these are in the same range.

..and thats a good guy price -- Staubli's are simply the best!

There is a reason that the AP and Staubli fittings are so expensive - they are of exceptional quality.

A supplier tells me that if the Porsche caliper has o-ring seals on the bleeder screws the AP ones would work. Does anyone know without looking? He also says that Brembo also offer a version at an even greater cost.

CP6300-21 $152.50 each (2 per caliper)

CP6300-31 $325.00 each (you need a minimum of 2 per car and more like 4 to do it all the way)

Not quite sure what those part numbers mean, but at $2,500+ for a set up it really doesn't matter.

Brembo calipers bleeders do not use O-rings to seal, rather a tapered seat. Bleeders, however, are 10mm x 1.0.

no o-rings on the bleed screws.

I like cool parts as much as anyone but....
