For what it's worth:
"look at any Cessna etc., you will find the 'bleed'nipple at the bottom.:
I owned a 1948 Cessna 170 that had Clevland brakes with bleed screw on bottom.
Always a bugger to bleed. Filling from bleed up helped, but also would help
early
on if would loosen connection going into wheel cylinder, let air out bottom
up, and use that connection as a bleed from top down using wheel cylinder to
pressurize and close connection before releasing pedal.
1948 had a different master cylinder compared to newer ones.
Just a friendly reminder, don't let Dot 5 brake fluid out of it's container
anywhere
near your aeroplane or shop if you need to do any layups, fill or paint.
"IT IS SILICONE"!
