Now - where the heck can I find replacement bleeder caps? All of my outter ones were rotten or MIA.

This is what I bought a few years ago.

And unfortunately, shipping cost from Z1 probably would have been $20.00.

Didn't even think of looking there. Even cheaper.

I bought something similar to this a while back. I don’t remember if it was on amazon or eBay. But it looks pretty close to this. They have other options on amazon too.

Lol oops I didn’t see those other posts. For some reason all the posts were out of order on my Tapatalk app and it looked like the previous post was from March.

I have one of those bottles but the gasket is a little leaky. Let me know if anyone is interested

Jsolo · 02-10-2020, 08:24 PM

Which gasket, the part that seals to the bottle or the reservoir? I know they sell gaskets to the latter, probably to the former too. Mine is about 8 years old, still works well.

I tried bleeding mine, I bought the 0117 Black Label Power Bleeder, but could not get it to hold pressure

It would go up to 10psi then slowly leak back down. Is 0117 the correct adapter? OP says 0117, but I see some saying they used 1117. This is the one I bought:

That's the correct one. The bleeder is 0117, the adapter is 1117 as noted in the Amazon link you posted.

From Motiv:

And it's cheaper on Motive's site BTW.

Make sure the Oring is in the adapter.
