Mine had 3 caps, one fits perfectly and the others are nowhere near the same size.

Is your master cylinder plastic or metal?

Got mine from a local motor factors (Sparesworld) and mine has 3 caps with one fitting just right.

It even mentions the original Mini within the text. Can't remember why now though?

Mine keeps leaking air out of the air valve fitting so i have to keep inflating the tyre. I have found the kit to be a bit cheaply made so i don't use it
I think I had to use an old cap and just drilled a hole in it as the kit never had one that fitted a mini but my kit is an old one though

Got mine a few weeks ago (gunson eezibleed) from halfords - while I'm here why have they named it like "itz sumting u by frm da streetz?" :thumbsup:

Anyways, you get 3 clear hoses of different diameters and 4 caps of different sizes as below

Yeah mine came with an assortment of caps but the only two that were the same size as the resevoiur neck screwed on but then blew off under any sort of pressure!

Yeah i had the bleed nipple open and like i said i had it woring under an asthmatic level of pressure for about 30secs :thumbsup:

I got mine from minispares though so would have though it would have a "mini" cap in there!

Its a plastic brake fluid resevoir by the way....

Cheers,

Matt.

Pm Simon@minispares on here, I know the text on mine just below the contents say that "other caps are available should these not fit?" So it should be in there, They probably can advise you further?
