<VV> Master cylinder

[shortle]

You call it potAto, I call it potato. I think it comes under the category of "whatever floats your boat". The only reason I bench bleed master cylinders is you don't introduce a whole bunch of air into the system (only a little when attatching the lines). This works for me.
