The bestest brake bleeding tool EVER.

Normally I just gravity-bleed everything. But on the new project, with the Mico-Lock and ALL that new line, that was taking for-EVER. I remembered a post from Pirate a while back.
Took a 1/4" plate drilled it and tapped for an air fitting.

Clamp this to the top of the MC (if it's a dual reservior, pit this over the side you want to bleed).
IMPORTANT!!!!! Before you hook the air up, regulate your flow down to like 5 PSI, you don't need much pressure to do this.
Fill the reservoirs and put on the chuck you will hear air leaking out, that's OK.
Go crack the bleeder, it will start flowing immediately. Essentially you bleed like always, but no pumping the pedal.
One way to improve this would to put some gasket material on the plate or get an extra MC rubber cover from the Help! section. Didn't have any of that, but it still worked fine!
