I've never had much trouble bleeding brakes. I just use a catch-bottle and pump till the bubbles go away.

But I'm here to tell ya, doing it without the body in the way felt downright effortless. Very Happy

Well I for one don't intend to take my body of the chassis just so I can bleed my brakes in bliss !! Laughing

Not all bliss. Turns out I need fresh grommets for the reservoir outlets. These are split.

Another reason why I went with a 68 and later jug and just blue hosed it together. Even on my 64 T-34 I blue hosed it together. When I sold it, I included all of the original bits.

FWIW, WW re-pops those grommets for their '67 bug master res.

All I see is the grommet on the master cylinder ( #26 ). I need the ones up on the reservoir.

Although I could buy their 67 bug reservoir just for the fittings.
