Re: Brake hose
Where I'm fitting concentric clutch slave, it may be a good idea to fit on the clutch master cylinder, i wouldn't lose brake fluid from the master cylinder when i remove the gearbox

Re: Brake hose
Totally understand now.
Although I will be fitted a concentric clutch slave also the the RX8 gearbox.
No quick release .

Re: Brake hose
My Vauxhall gearbox also uses a concentric slave cylinder, mated to the Toledo master. I've disconnected it twice since original fitment, both times it took only a few seconds to gravity bleed it on completion.
I know you love your gadgets Dave, but honestly, don't lose sight of the K.I.S.S. Principal!

Re: Brake hose
That is sent from China. Why on earth would you want to use something that is not branded/tested to a high std fitted to your brakes??
If you are looking for "clever" solutions, try "Think Automotive" where similar stauff may be available, but at several times the cost as it is made to a proper specification from proper materials.
But like others have said, it takes a very short time to bleed a CSC. Some do not even have a bleed connection, I am quessing they are autobleed?

But yes seller is registered in China.
Personally I wouldn’t use one as I don’t think it needs it.
Chinese or not.
