Default XKS Unlimited remote bleeder system

Has anyone used this one? Fosseway Performance is way over in England and would prefer to purchase something from a US based retailer and came across this one. I see they use the Speed Bleeder screws which I was considering purchasing, but figured the extra money for the remote setup may be worth it in the end.

I used a cheap weed spray bottle from my local hardware store. I cut the spray wand off and used a large rubber stopper to jam into the fluid reservoir. Pump the bottle to 15psi or there abouts, too much pressure and the rubber stopper popped out.

They are fantastic. Assuming you have inboard brakes, they make bleeding far, far easier. It is not at all easy getting to the nipple on an inboard calliper, and the remote bleeders fix that problem, as well as making bleeding process itself easier.

I have a u.k version on mine but it has a bleed nipples one for each side, I have seen kits since then that link the 2 into 1 in retrospect I'd rather have had from the grovelling point.

I agree, I have this kit on my 91 & its the only way to bleed the rear inboard brake's without getting brake fluid all over a restored painted IRS

Like me I suggest you get Fosseway's brass banjo fittings too, as then the flexible is far easier to run downwards. and far easier to fit to the calliper.
