I need some Tick Performance Speed Bleeder help.
I'm switching to a McCleod RXT clutch and McLeod doesn't recommend using the Tick master cylinder. So I'm replacing it with a factory style aftermarket matter cylinder. The issue I'm having is that I don't have the line that runs from the master cylinder to the speed bleeder. Is it even available other than buying a new matter from Chevrolet? Does anyone have any other suggestions.
Thanks for your time, Jim

You have to purchase a remote bleeder kit. It consist of a crush washer, slave cyl fitting, extended hose 36"+ long, and a bleeder fitting just like a brake bleeder fitting.
You attach that remote bleeder kit to the slave cyl.

I'm removing the Tick master cylinder and replacing it with the stock style. I've already got the Tick Speed Bleeder that I'm trying to reuse. I bought a replacement master cylinder from a parts house. My issue from my understanding is that there's a line that doesn't come with the replacement master cylinder that you're supposed to remove from your original master cylinder and transfer to the new master cylinder that ties the master cylinder and the speed bleeder line. Which I don't have as the car had the Tick setup when I bought it.

Exactly. I posted it this way in hopes that someone who has reverted back to the stock master might post up their resolution.
