^ Copycat!!
Andy,
Looks good. As for the bulkhead fitting, is it keyed in the bracket? You don't want it turning as you loosen & tighten the bleed nipple.

I was wondering if the bracket is even necessary or simply tie wrapping the fitting out of the way will work and then just bleeding it loose in one's hand will work.
Others' thoughts?

Can't find a M6 adapter anywhere. I'd like to keep metric so I'm trying a banjo fitting at the slave (MPL) with a custom pipe from HEL and a std brake bleed nipple. It's a great idea and one I will fit on the 944 as that is even worse to get at.

I was surprised as the bulkhead fitting has no flat key and the bracket it fits into doesn't either. The bulkhead fitting has a large hex suitable for an open-end box wrench that sits against the back side of the bracket. This makes bleeding a two wrench job.

The reason I secured my bulkhead fitting to my bracket was to allow for one-wrench use. Dealing with the fittings & two wrenches at the end of a loosely-hanging clutch line would be less than ideal.
Throw the bulkhead fitting & bracket into the mail and I'll tack weld them. Or create a similar bracket to the one I made - it works.

The M6 adapter came from the UK via eBay.
