<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">It is not an Austin Healey
part that the cap has to fit. Nor is it an MG part. It is a
Girling part. I am only aware of 2 Girling caps. One was metal
(early & late style) & one was plastic. I suspect the
threads on both caps are the same, but have not proven that.
Part of the fit problem is that the threads on the cast repro
master cylinders with integral reservoirs are very poor. </div>

style="color:#1F497D;">Mirek, the recommended cap
for the M.G. TC is 1109. I did call tech support
and was told there was not a cap for the
Austin-Healey even though the website states
differently. Something interesting is tech support
is provided by the former company owner. He bought
the company in 2008 and sold it in September of
2023. Motive Products is located back east but
tech support is provided by the former owner and
the area code for his phone is 408.</span></p>

lang="EN-CA">John, I have this same bleeder but
the product number for the adaptor is not listed
on my receipt. However, they can tell you which
one you need. I seem to recall that oddly they
did not have an early Healey listed, but the cap
on the reservoir is the same as my M.G. TC, and
the dealer did have a listing for the TC,
although I don’t see it on their web page.
Weird. I’d contact their support people and
ask.</span></p>

to get the cap on the bleeder to seal on the
reservoir. I mentioned it to Mike Salter who
had a similar problem. It just does not seem to
screw down tight enough, although I can see no
logical reason for it not sealing. It is on my
“to do” list (but near the bottom), to get a
used reservoir and experiment to get a better
fit. </span></p>

would prevent the brake fluid in the tube from
draining out when the cap was removed. I fitted
a check valve in the line right above the
adaptor. </span></p>
