I've had mine for many, many years too and the "plastic 44/45mm/1 3/4" for metal Girling and all A.T.E. systems" fits my brake reservoir (my front calipers are A.T.E.).

I've found that experimenting with the different thickness cap seals usually solves leakage problems and that 15 psi works well for bleeding.

Yes, it's worth keeping!

You can get a 'universal' adaptor cap for the Sealey unit, maybe there's something similar for the Eazibleed?
Not sure how effective it is as it looks a bit like some sort of torture method.



Though I don't have that so resorted to a technique I had read on the forum - syringe the old fluid out of the reservoir, fill with new.
Then the old fashioned method of an assistant to press on the brake pedal while you attend to the bleed nipples until the fresh fluid comes through (quite easy to tell in this case as the old fluid was nasty).
You can get adaptors, they cost as much as the standard kit unfortunately. As I was on a schedule to get it done for a family member’s work commitments, I bench bled the new master cylinder and pumped through with the pedal as you said. Job done. Quite satisfying to see the clean fluid in, rather than the old discoloured stuff!

what I don't like about Eesibleed is when you screw the cap on the what ever cylinder the pipes on top turn too, bit of a pain in a confined space such as clutch master on our cars
