I have been using a 24" length of snug fitting Silicone Model Airplane fuel
line attached to the brake bleeder fitting with two turns of .020 SS Safety
Wire pulled snug before twisting.  Don't pull too tight or the Wire will cut
the line.  This provides enough security to fully open the valve of the
Pressure
Pot so the much higher flow will push the air bubbles trapped in high spots
(like the loop of lines between right seat and left seat master cylinders)
thru the system.

Use a reservoir with a screw in filler plug that can be removed.  For
bleeding, install a plastic fitting like an old static line fitting that
would screw into an instrument.  Run this line into a clear plastic bottle
and it really is a no mess, 10 minute, one man bleeding operation.  Cut
3/16" or so off the end every time to minimise nicking the Silicone Line and
be sure to reach down with your hand and pull the brake pedals all the way
back to open the ports in the master cylinders before bleeding.
