Can any one recommend/have any experience with them?
I've seen them on race bikes and cars - kinda pricey.
Hoping to shorten the brake bleeding time next time my side car comes off.
(Save the debate about pros & cons of brake on rig for another thread)
Thanks in advance Dave Norris
Anytime I've used one I found their was some air introduced after a reconnection of the brake line.

I used a "lossless" connector from Parker on my Flexit. It seemed to work OK but it was not ceap and truth be told I really didn't disconnect it all that much. Be sure to get a set with seals that are compatible with the brake fluid that you're using. I used nitrile seals. Here's a link to the Parker Brass site http://tiny.cc/kjvst . There's usually a Parker distributor in most larger cities and sometimes they even have the parts in stock but will probably have to special order because for them our fittings are tiny and we want odd seal material. Good Luck!
We offer a quick disconect. They work ok but unless you know the trick about every 5 times you remove it you have to blead the brakes. The trick, hold the female end up, use s screwdriver to depress the check valve ball until a drop of fluid comes out. Then reconect the hose this keeps all the air out. We may be able to provide you with all the fittings you need however we will need to know what kind of brake hose you are using.
