Default Re: Difficulty Bleeding 1940 Brakes

I just finished bleeding the brakes on the '40 today, and used a Motive Products bleeder. It worked great. Simple, reasonably priced and effective. The only drawback is Motive Products didn't have, was out of or didn't know what adapter fit the 1050 MC in the '40, so i had to make my own. I drilled and tapped the MC cap for 1/8 NPT, temporarily plugged the 2 small vent holes with epoxy and made up a detachable hose connection to go between the MC cap and bleeder hose. The photos will show the MC cap with the 1/8 NPT x 1/4 brass nipple, the supplied slick crimp bands, 1/4 clear vinyl hose and 1/4" SAE female swivel nut that mates to a male SAE 45 degree x 1/4 NPT adapter that threads into the Motive bleeder hose fitting. Anyone have the part # for the Motive adapter that fits the 1050 Ford MC ?
