Well I was able to buy some of the regular style bleeders and connect a harbor freight vacuum style brake bleeder to the hydra-vac and the wheel cylinders. It pulled a lot of fluid through the system and I have great pedal now. I have driven it around the last few days and brakes work great. I am going to start replacing lines one by one. Ed, the strap idea is great, super durable material! I found some shower liner from a recent job too. It is a grey rubber like material. Between those 2 I should be able to insulate straps for free.
