Check out my new Clutch Pressure Bleeder!

I was having trouble getting my clutch pedal to work properly after rebuilding my clutch master cylinder, and then bleeding the system. The problem was because I did not PRESSURE bleed the system. After some reading in the manuals, I decided to try and make a bleeder (or should I say "rig"?). With some hoses, clamps, and plumbing fittings, I slapped them together and then clamped one end to the master cylinder fill hole, and the other end I attached to the air pump. Below is a picture, and I'm sure you can figure out how it works. After I made this thing, it took me almost no time to properly pressure bleed the clutch and it works great now. I haven't actually created a rig like this in many years - I forgot how much fun it is - especially when it works :-)
