^ just had a look at the turbo slave and NA slave on my self. The turbo slave bleed screw is bigger, won't fit NA slave. And yes the turbo nipple faces the wheel well.
(Boosted, doing this will add weight with the fitting and lines! and I personally don't think I would bleed things often enough to need this)

Thank you. Do you know what size thread the bleed nipple is?

curious how you mounted the bracket to the plastic manifold?

AOW162435

The non-Varioram manifold has four M5x0.8 threaded inserts. The two rearmost ones are used for the plastic A/C line bracket. My bracket utilizes the four attachment points, and the A/C line bracket installs over mine.

Pure genius, you have turned a painful job that consequently gets put off into a walk in the park.

Nice solution! One thought though - you are introducing a fair amount of flex line in the pressure circuit - did you notice any change in the clutch feel?

Given I have a full sized two post lift at home, I find the clutch bleeding to be pretty easy but can appreciate how hard it can be lying on the floor.

I guess the another down side is replacing the slave is a bit messier. I like the idea though!

Thanks Steve.

Mike,
Zero change in feel. Same butter-smooth action it's had for the last ten years.
With the supply line clamped below the reservoir, not a drop came out of the slave when I removed the infernal bleed screw.

My what a beautiful exhaust you have.

Lovely piece of engineering you've crafted!

AOW162435

Thank you John! Any word on the item we discussed via PM?

Pretty sure you did this , just so you could use the word "nipple" multiple times in every post. Your fooling no one!

And, what about us vario ram rennlisters you selfish pr1ck?

Nipple, nipple, nipple.

I need to take a gander at P-Daddy's fleet and see where a bracket could work.

Received my AOWdesign remote clutch bleeder bracket today, and as expected, the quality is top notch. After speaking with Andreas numerous times about what a PITA bleeding the clutch is, he told me he had been working on a remote setup. I told him to keep me in the loop as I was very interested. Got this hooked up today, and couldn't be happier with the quality of his work, and how it looks in the engine bay!

Thanks Andreas!
