We have one at work but use it as a back up to our electric one but does the job well

That’s good to know. Do you know if the cap will fit the gt86 or will i need to get the adapter?

Check if it comes with a selection of caps first

Doesn’t come with a selection of caps just a euro fit cap which I believe doesn’t fit.

you can get a universal cap but reviews seem  to say its terrible.

so back to the drawing board.

I take it you use a wheel to pressure it ? Anyway why not go overkill and get this baby we use 😂

The gunson one will be no good as it comes with only screw on caps so not like the 86s fitting.

I think you will need to get one of the ones that create a vacuum after the bleed nipple rather than trying to pressurise before the nipple (if you see what I mean!).

Something like this?

I did see a youtube video of a guy who just made his own with a few lengths of hose and the top of a household spray bottle to get the same effect.

Bought a pressure bleeder from machine Mart with a universal cap which in all honesty is a pain in the arse.

the bleeder is a great bit of kit just need to find the right cap.

Anyway job done ready for next TrackDay at coombe on 8th July

Have you looked at speed bleeders? Basically a bleed nipple with a one way valve

I looked into various ones of these and the conclusion was that with the type of cap the GT86 uses they are a pain.

 

I just use an easi-bleed/the old fashioned method to be safe :)
