So I know how to bench bleed a master cylinder, but where can I get the threaded nipples to put where the brake lines go?

I even thought about buying brake line and just attaching hose to it, but I can't find brake line of the right thread!!! HELP ME!!!

In a 3L/turbo build you would think that I would have other problems slowing me down....not the maintenance stuff.

Your new MC didn't come with plastic connectors for just this purpose? Maybe try Autozone and see if they can rob some from a kit.

Do you just want to bleed the brakes?

Just leave the bleeder screw in place, put on a piece of vacuum line, and get someone to sit in the car.

Open the line and have them depress the pedal, lock it out before they release the pedal. Repeat till clean fluid comes out and no air.
Do every wheel

If you want protective nipples for the bleeder screws and lost yours, you can get teh right ones or substitute vacuum line plugs to push over the top.

If you need a brake line, I have all the factory ones with 60K on them you can just have for the price of shipping, or you can buy the mocal lines for like $100 for all four.


Since I didn't understand your problem from what you wrote, I think I covered all the bases.

No - he is trying to bench bleed the MC. The kit I got from Autozone had plastic fittings that screwed into where the brake lines would normally hook up. They also supplied a couple of lines to push the fluid out of the MC during bleeding right back into the reservoir. He is looking for the plastic fittings (I think).

I didn't buy a new one...I just had to remove it to pull out my engine/turbo piping with a cherry picker that didn't lift it hih enough.

Anyway I figured it out...I got some piece of brake line from a salvage yard...I could find the plastic ones anywhere.
