speed bleeders

I installed them a couple of years ago and they work great. Only problem is I can bleed alone and don,t have the wife out to do the pump and hold. If you have drum retainers on the rear get the longer ones.

Well, I have the dreaded DOT 3 in my system so I bleed the lines every year (3500 miles each year + or -). 10 years now and no problems.
 
I just installed my first set on my '40, they worked great. Best thing is that I no longer have to listen to the ex-wife, daughter or present girl-friend whine about helping bleed the brakes... that is blessing enough.

Which part number did you go with? I'm looking for a set for a 41.

Longer is better. Easier to bleed because your bleeder wrench
fits easier and so does the bleeder hose. Use 7/16 box end wrench. The number for the long Speed Bleeders that I used on my 40 is SB3824L. Buy 4. They will also fit your car.
They cost me $28 plus $6.00 shipping in 2011.
Note: 1939 MT Products backing plates and drum are shown in the photos but the long bleeders will also work on the 41 set up.
