<VV> Dual master cylinder question

Since I thought virtually all replacement master cylinders now came with 
a couple universal plastic fittings and a couple pieces of plastic hose, 
a clip, & directions, I'd return the item and buy from a vendor who 
supplies those pieces with the mc.

Or you could go to the trouble of getting fittings and bending, cutting 
and possibly flaring tubes to fit, but I'll about promise you the next 
cylinder you get to bench bleed will have different fittings.  You wind 
up with a $50 box of fittings and bent tubes that don't fit anything but 
obsolete master cylinders -- lucky you!  And then you can start with 
collecting metric fittings.  Make sure you have the correct flare nut 
actually on the line before you start bending it.

And, going on and on, although one might think the fingertip pressure 
method would work, it only sorta works. Can't beat the tubes going back 
into the fluid reservoirs, under the fluid level.  Believe me, I've 
tried both, and now I only do the latter.  When you get done with the 
bleeder kit, save it for the next time as it might be useful.
