Messing with fluid level etc a week or so ago, and found out today I forgot to replace the cap on the master reservoir--and now its on the road somewhere.... Anyone have a spare laying around?

Thanks in advance,

Adam

Lol. Dropped my clutch master cap the other week and COULD NOT FIND it.... the lid off some old, used up PVC glue fit just fine. . Just sayin'!

I think I have one or two. What year Alfa? I will look when I get home tonight

I think they are pretty much universal for European cars. probably autozone or any parts place.

What year Alfa?

exactly

...we try to help on the BB, but....

1987--the pinnacle of Spider production....

If you do have one, that would be great!

Thanks in advance,

I think you could go to any pull and save and yank one of a BMW.

Or order one off ebay. There must be at least ten on there right now with Alfa in the description, probably a couple hundred if you include BMW and Mercedes.

Sadly--the pick-n-pulls around here are long gone.....

I'm 98.873% certain that a cap for a 2005 Audi A4 will fit. When I had mine I used the exact same basic "european" adapter I have for my Motive power bleeder for both cars. From AutohausAZ you have to buy the reservoir to get the cap but it's not super expensive (cap is, unfortunately, yellow however):

Here's what Motive has to say on the subject:

Nearly every European made car can use the 1100 and 1109 caps that are included in the 0100 and 0109 kits. These caps are female threaded caps and have an inner diameter at the threads of 45mm. BMW, Porsche, Saab, Volvo, VW (except air cooled) have used this type of cap since the late 1950s. Most other european cars also use this cap with some exceptions. Ferrari on some models and years will use a slightly smaller cap that is 42mm inner diameter. If you have a European made cars with a female threaded cap will more than likely use the 1100 and 1109 caps, but please check the inner diameter of the cap to be sure.

Any luck?

Reinvigorating this thread.... Still haven't found one, and that's after standing on the other side of the bullet-roof glass at a junkyard today: "We would never sell just the cap...."

Adam, which car do you have?

There are a few people on Facebook parting out Alfas. try there.

 

[bianchi2]

Hard to say--no dimensions....

I have a bunch of BMW 2002 ones. You can have one for the cost of shipping if you can find out if it fits

Thanks, Rick
