Brake bleeding and cutting brakes

Hi all,

I am coming up on the tail of a few projects and one happens to be the brakes. I am running the WJ setup on a D30 for now and Ford Explorer discs in the rear. But for ha ha's I decided to install a cutting brake and a line lock. Cutting brakes for the rear and a line lock for the front. My main question is regarding bleeding the whole system. I planned on running a "T" fitting at each of the cylinders on the cutting brakes and use a bleeder there. My thought was that this would be the highest point of the brake system, aside from the MC, thus the majority of the air would collect there. But I am not sure that this would be necessary or even work. Just wondering if anyone has come across this and what they have done.

Thanks

Thanks.

I looked up his solution. Sounds like we are going to be having fun with the brakes for at least a couple nights.
