My kit did no have a cap that fitted. (AH 3000). I cannot recall the exact
sequence, but I telephoned Gunson's and they sent me a selection which
included the correct one.
So, they are out there; they fit and they're available.
I suppose you could just order an extra cap(s) when you order the kit...
I like the Eezibleed. I overpressurized the first time that I used it and
probably put more air into the system than I took out. You only need enough
psi to push the fluid from one end of the car to the other.

Does anyone know if the current Eezibleed Kit includes a cap that will fit
the Girling reservoirs on BN1 & 2s? I know there is a brute force method of
buying a spare cap ($22 from Moss) and drilling a 13mm hole in it for
Gunson's plumbing.
