The OE Match Brake Fluid Bleeding Kit is a high-quality service tool designed to simplify the bleeding of hydraulic brake and clutch systems on Porsche vehicles. Manufactured to OE standards for fit, durability and ease of use, this kit enables efficient removal of trapped air from the hydraulic system, ensuring a firm brake pedal, consistent braking performance and reliable clutch operation where applicable.
Illustrated booklet makes your troubleshooting easy.
Designed for both professional workshops and experienced home mechanics, the kit provides a secure connection to the brake fluid reservoir, allowing controlled bleeding during brake fluid replacement or hydraulic system repairs. Manufactured from durable, brake-fluid-resistant materials, it is engineered to provide reliable performance during repeated servicing.
What This Product Does:
- Enables efficient bleeding of the hydraulic brake system.
- Removes trapped air from brake and clutch hydraulic circuits.
- Helps restore a firm and responsive brake pedal.
- Supports complete brake fluid replacement during servicing.
- Reduces the risk of air remaining in the hydraulic system.
- Assists in maintaining consistent braking performance.
- Can be used during brake caliper, master cylinder or hose replacement.
- Helps ensure safe and reliable hydraulic system maintenance.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Damaged or cracked reservoir adapter.
- Leaking hose connections.
- Worn or perished seals.
- Blocked or restricted fluid passages.
- Damaged pressure fittings.
- Poor sealing to the brake fluid reservoir.
- Cracked or kinked hoses.
- Corrosion or damage to connectors.
- Difficulty maintaining consistent bleeding pressure.
- Fluid leakage during operation.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Effective brake bleeding is essential whenever brake fluid is replaced or hydraulic components such as calipers, hoses, master cylinders or slave cylinders are serviced. Even small amounts of trapped air can reduce hydraulic pressure, resulting in a soft brake pedal, inconsistent braking performance and reduced driver confidence.
- A worn or damaged bleeding kit may leak, fail to maintain pressure or introduce air into the system, making brake servicing more difficult and less effective. Reliable equipment helps ensure the hydraulic system is fully bled, allowing the brakes and clutch to perform as intended.
- Replacing a damaged or ageing brake fluid bleeding kit ensures safe, efficient and reliable hydraulic servicing. An OE Match kit offers durable construction, dependable sealing and workshop-quality performance, making it an essential tool for maintaining the braking and clutch systems of your Porsche.

Restore a clean and dependable connection within the braking hydraulic system with this OE Match Union and Strainer for Brake Fluid Tank. Designed for compatible classic vehicle applications, this component combines the connection between the brake fluid reservoir and associated fluid supply system with a strainer that helps prevent larger contaminants from entering the hydraulic circuit.
Fits:
Porsche 356 - 1950 to 1955
Porsche 356A - 1955 to 1959
Porsche 356B - 1959 to 1963
This is a Concourse quality gland nut strainer screen, for your ATE Metal master cylinder reservoir tanks. These screens are a good idea to replace after few years, since the brake fluid will over time clog the screen. These can easily unscrew off and be replaced when bleeding your brake fluid.
Diagram Ref No 17
The brake fluid reservoir stores the hydraulic fluid required for brake operation. From the reservoir, fluid must travel through secure connections to the master cylinder and the rest of the braking system. The union provides an important connection point, while the integrated strainer helps keep unwanted particles and debris from passing further into the system.
What This Product Does:
- Provides a connection at the brake fluid reservoir.
- Helps transfer brake fluid from the reservoir into the hydraulic supply system.
- Incorporates a strainer to help capture larger particles and debris.
- Helps protect downstream hydraulic components from contamination.
- Supports a clean and reliable brake fluid supply.
- Helps maintain a secure connection at the brake fluid tank.
- Supports correct operation of the master cylinder and hydraulic braking system.
- Replaces a damaged, contaminated, corroded, blocked, or missing component.
- Provides an OE-style replacement for compatible classic vehicle applications.
- Is suitable for brake system maintenance and restoration projects.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Brake fluid leaking around the reservoir connection.
- Wetness or fluid staining around the union.
- A brake fluid level that repeatedly falls.
- Visible corrosion or deterioration of the union.
- Cracks, deformation, or physical damage.
- A damaged or contaminated strainer.
- Debris or deposits restricting the strainer.
- Reduced or restricted brake fluid flow.
- Difficulty obtaining a secure, leak-free connection.
- Contamination discovered within the brake fluid reservoir.
- Deterioration found during brake system restoration or servicing.
- The original union or strainer is missing.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The hydraulic braking system relies on a clean and uninterrupted supply of brake fluid. Contamination within the system can damage precision hydraulic components, interfere with seals, and contribute to premature deterioration of the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, or brake calipers.
- The strainer provides an additional level of protection by helping prevent larger debris from travelling from the reservoir into the hydraulic system. If the strainer becomes damaged or is missing, contaminants may have a more direct path into sensitive braking components.
- A blocked or heavily contaminated strainer can also restrict fluid movement. Any restriction within the brake fluid supply system should be investigated because reliable hydraulic operation is essential for consistent braking performance.
- The union must also maintain a dependable fluid-tight connection. Leakage can gradually lower the reservoir level, and if sufficient fluid is lost, air may enter the hydraulic system. This can result in a soft or spongy brake pedal and reduced braking effectiveness.
