Subject: My Version of a Power Brake fluid Flush Device... Check this out!

Hey Everyone,
I borrowed Hakan's Power Brake Fluid Power Flush tool to replace my brake fluid on my VW and on Ben's 5er, but got a better idea to build a device of my own. I think it ranks a "10" on the cool factor, it's clean and easy to use and offers much more control of pressurizing your brake system!

I made it possible to pressurize your system from the wheel when you're bleeding the lines and it won't keep your system pressurized when pressure isn't required. It works with your air compressor and size doesn't matter in this case since you're working with pressures at 15-20psi, you can even use one of those 5 gallon portable tanks if you're at the track, is that cool or what?!

You don't need to have a huge messy jug to fill and clean out afterwards because all you need to do is top off your brake fluid reservoir every one to two wheels, why waste fluid? Pressurizing the system is instantaneous and the only extra air in my system is in the line of this device and not in a container. If something were to happen, you run out of pressure quickly instead of some huge accident on the floor or on your car... brake fluid is and can be nasty if it comes into contact with your paint!

I think this system is cost effective in materials used to flush your system and costs a whole lot less than the system I have linked to this posting. I'm going to be making some more of these if you're interested in getting one. The one I have posted is a prototype, if this looks like something you want, contact me at estonbach@aol.com and I'll be able to give you pricing information. They will be far cheaper than the one I have linked to this posting. Give me some feedback... what do you guys think?
