Brakes and Fluid Change Questions
I used to use a Gunson tool - fill the reservoir and cap it with an assembly connected to a reduced pressure spare wheel. As the nipples were opened the fresh fluid was pushed out.

Start with the brake calliper furthest away from the master cylinder and work your way round, a pressure system like the Gunson suggested by ronk will make it a bit quicker.

I thought Gunson disappeared the same time as Sparkright.
The sort of things you find at the back of your Dad's shed.
I liked the Spark Tune, i think it was called, where you could see through a glass spark plug to set mixture.
The Sparkrite solid state ignition ok until the power resistor dry jointed i my TR7.
