Hello,
After another Sunday not riding, I decided to make myself busy trying to mimic the £40 Avid bleed kit. Sure enough, I eventually got something that works 
The two syringes;
The clamps;
The screw;
In place;
Enjoy,
Dan.

Oh sorry forgot to say, to pull out the screw bit, squeeze the thing that goes around the fabricy bit of the tube to loosen it with pliers and then pull it out after a couple of minutes of squeezing it.

I'll try and explain again, use an old screw in bike pump adaptor, pull the threaded bit out with pliers, and rethread to M5 thread, you can go over the old thread.

Ah, so it requires engineering kit, maybe minor but not in my shed. Just keep hassling the shop then

I dare say you could try to rethread it with just an M5 nut and a spanner?

I forgot to say also, the thready bits now have o-rings, which come on the pump adaptors anyway, these pictures were taken after I threaded them again and I put them on again after.
