[V8] Brake Cylinder Cap

[Bluemaxww1 at aol.com]

Most VAG brake reservoir caps are the same.  I used one for my coupe  off a 
Jetta.  25 Cents a the junk yard. Drilled the top, put in the  fitting, and 
used it.  Worked fine.  Add a short tube, about 1 and 1/2  inches on the inside 
of the cap.  When you take the pressure off, the tube  will siphon the excess 
brake fluid out of the reservoir and back into  the bleeder.  Less messy when 
you remove the bleeder cap.  Make  sure the bleeder is below the height of the 
reservoir when you release the  pressure for the siphon effect to work.

I'm  trying to put a pressurized brake bleeder together. My problem,
which I  hadn't counted on, is finding a master cylinder cap. Does anyone
know if  there's another cap out there available at my local NAPA or Car
Quest that  fits my V8 ? Thanks, William
