Default A better brake bleeding tool

I decided to replace my old Motive Pressure Bleeder tool and found this pressure tool from Bavarian Autosport. Supposedly it's made to their specs. Used it this w/e and it works great.

The nice parts are the quick release coupler for the master cylinder res. cap and a separate filler for the brake fluid. It also has a pressure relief valve which is handy.

BavAuto web site it's part number PB03K at $54.95 with a catch bottle.

OK, product search is not finding it. From home click on "tools, manuals & fluids" then click on "brake fluids/tools".

Bill,
Looks nice. I have the Black Label Motive which allows the adaptor to swivel.

Yes, if I had gone with the Black Label I probably wouldn't have been inclined to upgrade now.

I used to use these all the time, but had have them all fail on me. The last one blew in the engine bay spraying 2l of brake fluid.

I know just use my foot. The black label one is nice, it has a long hose, so you don't have to have the bleeder in the engine bay, or our trunk.

FWIW, I just bleed the brakes in the C4S last week, by my self, it did take way longer then it should of.

Which one failed on you, the Bavarian Autosport one or the Motive?

ArenaRed911cab, yes they are nice but I may not own it much longer. Just waiting for the PPI to be scheduled. I want a 993 Coupe, but I won't be upset if I keep the cab.

The Bav auto one is from motive. I had the main seal fail, & also had a pump seal fail. When they do, you get pressurized brake fluid spewing from them. I also used to use it quite a bit, as I did 4-6 track days a month. I would bleed them for every set of pads I went through.

After the second failure, & a friend who borrowed one & broke it. I just went back to the pump method.

Just searching right now, a couple of prospects but I don't want to put the cart before the horse. I would love to find a arena red/gray coupe. Actually found a couple TT's and "S's" but no C2's yet.
