I'm revisiting the brake bleeding question and had a question.  I bought
the "universal" system from motive which works poorly.  I just ordered a
new brake reservoir cap from TRF, but need help in figuring out how to
modify the new cap to use with my pressure bottle.

Can someone explain to me what type of fitting I need to obtain and
where I could get such an animal?

BTW, this is to fit my TR6 brake reservoir.

Thanks,

I built a similar unit for about 1/2 the cost (~$25).  I saw the
instructions on the BMW club web page (no I don't own a Beemer, I was
just
surfing)- the URL is:

Anyway, the point of my reply is that no matter who's power bleeding
unit you use (Gunson, Motive Power, or home-built), none of them come
with a cap which fits the TR6 master cylinder.  My solution was to
purchase a new cap, put the new cap on the car, and modify the old cap
for use with my bleeder. Once you power bleed, you will never go back to
the old ways (Mityvac, Spouse/Child, etc).

Anyone use this brake system bleeder:  http://motiveproducts.com/

It looks interesting, although they don't list a cap to fit a TR6 master
cylinder. I was thinking of  drilling and adapting and old cap and
trying it out. Anyone else BTDT with this unit?
