I made one too. The threads on the Motive Products cap are square cut or =
not machined properly. I tried several of their other caps and none of =
them sealed. The are screwed up and don=E2=80=99t know it.

I used a pressure bleeder attached to a cap I made. My experience with =
the vacuum systems attached to the slave cylinder nipple is that they =
will pull air through the threads of the nipple when loose so they =
don=E2=80=99t work well in my opinion.

Concerning pressure bleeders: Be forewarned that Motive Products make a =

fit. I tried to work with them about this issue and spoke with a senior =
manager and the former owner to try to resolve the issue with the cap =
that would not fit and seal the system to it could be pressurized. I =
went as far as sending them a cap from a bottle of PVC solvent that is =
the same thread a Healey brake fluid reservoir to they could find a cap =
to fit. They just blew is off and did not help!

Fellow Listers,
I need to replace my old discolored brake fluid with new. What technique =
have you used? Did you just drain all the lines and reservoir and then =
refill with new fluid? Then bleeding to get all the air out? Or draining =
the lines to where the reservoir is almost empty and then adding new =
fluid so as to prevent air from getting in the lines? Bleeding the =
clutch slave cylinder is not one of my favorite pastimes.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Elton
