I will hopefully have pictures up shortly. However, in summary...

I made about 10 trips between home despot, fisher hardware, sears and home despot before i finally settled on what i thought would work best. I ended up with:

Garden Sprayer from sears, pump up type ($9). This one was neat because the 'outlet' on the cap had a threaded end to supposedly thread on your spray fixtures. That went in the trash, and i then went to home despot and found some pipe fittings.

I threaded on (sealed with teflon tape) a fitting with a barb on the end ($2) to accept a 1/4" I.D. tube, which i bought a reel of ($2) and a reel of 1/4" O.D. Tube since i didnt have any laying around ($2... watch out its getting expensive!). I then sourced with a visit up to see Jamie (Doctor Cortez) at the junkyard in frederick, MD a spare Brake M/C reservior cap. Since mine is a screw on type, it will hold pressure. I used a similar fitting ($2) after drilling a hole in the M/C cap except this one had a female end, so i also bought some brass nuts ($1) to secure the fitting w/ barb on to the M/C cap, with a pair of washers ($.10) and some RTV sealant to make sure it sealed properly. I used the 'gasket sealer' type RTV so the brake fluid wouldnt eat it away.

I also made a little modification onto the bottle itself, i drilled a hole in the side of the can and placed a small dial-type pressure gauge ($4), which also had a threaded fitting on it (how convenient!) in the hole, again sealing it with RTV, a brass nut and some washers ($0.10). I am looking to run about 15-20psi with the bottle, and it works just fine for my purpose.

And of course while a home despot, i ran across the street to Olympic auto parts and bought more brake fluid. I think i have like 6 cans in the garage now (blue & gold).

Total cost outlay of less than $25 and a really cool toy to play with

 

So how'd it work for you on Sunday?

Matt L - who knows the answer, but just wants to hear the trash talk.
