I recently purchased a Motive Power Bleeder. It came with one cap for the fluid reservoir but it's a female thread and my reservoir requires a male thread. Does anyone know if Motive sells different caps that fit a 2004 MINI? I was on the Motive website and it appears all they sell is a complete kit including the tank.

 

Motive sells the adapters separately:

Are you sure you need a male adapter? Do you have a picture of your reservoir?

 

I agree. I have a Motive power bleeder that I use on my 2006 S and the cap is female...

 

Here's are a couple pics of my reservoir. You can see that the tank has an internal thread. Are yours different?

 

That is the power steering fluid reservoir

 

Doh! It was the Tequila!

 

 

just don't let anyone tell you you need to bleed this one

 

This is funny!!!!
But I am trying to figure out which adapter I need for the R53 brake reservoir. For some reason I bought an 1107 and it does not fit... I don't want to buy the wrong one twice.
Can any one confirm the 1100 adapter is the right one???

UPDATE
I found my answer on the ECS site:

1100 is the correct adapter for all mini coopers. (for the next guy looking)

 

FYI, the coolant reservoir cap is the same thread and can be modified for a brake bleeder by installing a nipple.

I built one and used 1/4in irrigation push-in connectors and tubing for most of it. uses the brake fluid container as the supply so there is no pouring out/back.
