[Healeys] fluid reservoir cap

[Bob Spidell]

I took a (std) reservoir cap, drilled a hole of appropriate size, inserted a shraeder valve with a threaded lock ring on 
the backside and screwed-down the lock ring.  Something like this: *http://tinyurl.com/cbbdff2*

Set your regulator at about 10psi and connect with one of these:

Works a treat (no brazing, etc. required).
