Bleeder hoses used to come with replacement master cylinders.

You can find the tubing at home depot or lowes I don't know the size unfortunately. For the fittings, they where from the dorman bleeder kit, which btw is horrible. It comes with a TINY black hose and you only get one of each fitting...

$20 for two plastic fitting... Lesson learned, you can build it better and cheaper.


Again, you can get these fittings in metal for a lot less at home depot or Lowes, and they won't leak on you.

Post Bleeder Pipes

Thanx guys .

I'm a Journeyman mechanic and I've installed probably 1,000 + ATE brand MC's and never saw one with these pipes .

I have several Motive brand pressure bleeders, none of those came with the pipes either .

Back to the junk yard ! .

Good it is fixed. I was basing my diagnosis partly on the low pedal occurring immediately after a brake pad / hose change.
