just bought a 1 gallon "roundup" brand sprayer at Lowes today..... used it to make a pressure bleeder for the brakes on my 58 2-ton! Works great, tank on sprayer is rated for 40 psi, and is see-through! I spent less than 20$ and have a pressure bleeder!

I also bought 10' of 1/4" ID clear PVC tubing. I used the adjustable nozzle from the sprayer, took the screw-on end cap off, drilled a hole in the end of the inside part, and pushed one end of the tubing on it (heated it a bit with my heat gun first).

that part sealed tight enough, it did not leak. I then took an extra master cylinder cap and did the following:

1.Remove the splash shield from the inside
2.Drill a 5/16 hole in the top
3. weld up the vent hole in the cap

I then drilled a hole in a 5/16 bolt and bolted that through the cap to connect the bleeder hose to. I put a gasket under the bolt head and the nut and a clamp on the hose but with it pressurized, it was still leaking.... I am not sure exactly where, and I didn't really care, I just threw a pile of sawdust on the floor to soak it up and proceeded to bleed the brakes!
