Is there a specific brand of pneumatic brake bleeder that we can use with the Mini with the AUS master cylinders?

SCA = Supercheapauto. Its just an Automotive accessories store like Repco and Autobarn. Vacuum bleeders can be bought from ebay etc. One is a hand pump style or the other you need an aircompressor to operate.

I have found that a basic checkvalve bleeder works a treat.
