pressure bleed "CLUTCH": which adapter cap?

[auditude at get.net]

Hi George,

Yes, my car is just like yours.  I checked it out and also looked at the Bentley.

I see how it is, the master is in the cabin! <g>

I'm going to pick up the parts to make my own.  The link I posted before is a bit wrong, the "B" needs to
be capitalized.

Thanks for the answers.

Later,

Ken
