Having read S Classes epic struggle he mentioned a "MacGuyver" power brake bleeder which I assume means a home made or in my parlance a "Heath-Robinson" bleeder.

This led me to think that I might be able to use my radiator tester with internally expanding bladder to seal at the top of the master cylinder and I was wondering what pressure to run it at.

I know ABS systems need 2 bar but I would think an old system would be better at 0.5 to 1 bar
