Well after some time here is the "how-to" on your own personal power bleeder for brake system. Thanks to Kajtek1 for the free brake reservoir caps. You guys will have to buy your own.
I have the document in Word Format and the pictures are much clearer. This PDF is a scan as I do not have the Acrobat software. If you want the clearer pics IM me with an e-mail addy and I will send it to you.
As always, I invite suggestions on how to make this better.

Nice job, Drew.
Take care and enjoy the ride,

WOW. You really made professional tool.
How hard is to pump the sprayer to 35 psi?
I have one, but it has a piston gauge with no scale, so didn't want to spend that much time to convert it. The spare tire system was much easier.

Thanks for compliment. Could not have done it without your help!
I don't know that I would do it much past 20 PSI. As for the 35 it is a whole lotta pumpin' to get it there. Just to get to 10PSI with one bottle of Brake fluid was about 15 -20 pumps.

I think you know your next mod...more jb weld and a schrader valve (heck, you could do it off a "T" on your pressure gauge and save the jb weld).
I've thought about doing this but am a little concerned about the safety of the plastic cap, fittings, etc. and the 2Bar of pressure required. I've got regulated air in my garage and the gage on the compressor is fairly accurate. I've found a source for the 45mm caps made from aluminum but they're $$$.
I've got the MOTIVE bleeder. It works well enough but takes a while to get it pumped up to bleeding pressure and then it leaks a bit, which requires more pumping. It's less than optimal for the MB cars.
