MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Clutch slave remote bleeding

Hi,
I hope you are all staying safe.
I have my 1275 engine out and thought I would fit clutch slave cylinder remote bleed pipe whist it is accessible. What do I need and where can I get it from?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave
not a lot in reality
A rear flexi hose, 2 bleed nipples, a 3 way brake pipe splitter and a self tapping screw to fix it all to the inner footwell panel!
Regards
Stuart

Or I do it this way.

Thanks,

Alan, I take it you made up the black bracket. Do you make them for other people - could you make one for me to purchase off you, please?

Hi

If you do not want to make up your own remote bleed (Alan has given out info previously listing parts needed - including an MG midget brass brake union with one output blocked off), Peter May Engineering sell a version: https://www.petermayengineering.com/product/remote-clutch-bleed-kit/

Cheers

You can get a female to female adapter that screws directly into one end of the brake hose and takes a single bleed nipple. So the full kit is just 3 items; bleed nipple, adapter and brake hose. 4 if you add some sort of bracket or clamp to hold the top end up somewhere convenient to reach.

I can make you one but can't get to the P.O. in isolation.
