You just use an old original cap and adapt it to suit the hose of the
Ezibleed (or whatever the spelling is).

<div>If the rear drum brakes are adjusted too loose it will
require a lot of pedal travel before the pedal feels firm. Try
tightening them a little & see if it feels better. Also,
adjusting them tight will assist in the bleeding process. You
can always back them off after you are sure all the air is out
of the system. Occasionally, when bleeding I have found that I
need to push down the brake break pedal very quickly to
force air bubbles that are trapped at high spots in the brake
lines to move them down the line. If you push slowly the fluid
can simply flow past the bubble without moving the bubble. I
also like using the Ezeebleed system. I bought one about 15
years ago. It did not have a lid (cap) that would screw onto the
reservoir & seal tightly. That is a necessity. I improvised
& got it to work. Do they now include a tight fitting cap
for the Giriling reservoir?</div>
