Where can i find 100ml syringes??

[Cave Dweller]

I want to bleed my brakes and the couple of syringes i have have stopped working, or i can't remember if they had dot or mineal oil in it (the texta markings have worn off) so now they are useless.

Where can i buy them from? I asked around the local chemist, motor bike and mountain bike shops but nobody has any idea.

Closest thing i have found is from T7 but i don't want to spend $40 for a whole kit just to get a syringe.

Thanks

in the medical world, i'm pretty certain that syringes are measured in CC, if that helps...

Actually druggies make syringes easier to get these days, what with all the 'safe drug use' being promoted.
Try a medical supplies shop.

Yeah vet is the way to go. I've sourced syringes from one myself. don't ask for the needle that goes on it though, they won't give it to you.

[THE YETI]

From a vet theyre like $3.00-ish not sure if that was employee discount but theyd still be piss all.

needle exchange center.
you'll get alcohol swap to clean the nipples
rubber band to tie your hose to something or to tie your lever to something.
and a clean needle with a clean syringe so you can shoot up and enjoy endless hours of braking.

go to a marine shop or fiberglass shop. 100ml isn't an obscure amount. i've seen much bigger.

You will find that most medical supplies company's will only sell whole box quantities (i.e. 20s 50s 100s...of) you might be lucky and ask if they have a broken box they may sell you 1. However 100ml is a very large size and I cannot recall seeing a 100ml Medical Syringe from memory I think 60cc was the largest. Ask for a Catheter Tip (see attached pic) it is tapered from top to end.

Otherwise in a previous life in the Medical Supplies industry we used to sell Terumo Syringes and BD (Becon Dickinson) so you could try them direct. But like dcrofty said don't ask for the needles.

go to a vet, got mine for 5 bucks, would have cost me 10 if she had a new one available. after you do that go to a hobby shop that use plastic hosing for nitro rc cars & buy a small length to refill your brakes. easy :)

It is silicone hosing. I use that stuff, it works a treat and seals over the bleed nipple well. I suck some fluid out first to remove the bubbles (They float up into the top of the syringe). Then pump it through. Syringes are the best system IMHO.

Got some 60ml ones from the local vet, $4 each. Thanks all.

I got a 60ml one from Super Cheap Auto and it came with some tubing for about $7.
