Vacuum cap and brake fluid

[TouringBubble]

Anyone know if a standard vacuum cap will stand up to brake fluid over time? The new clutch master will have a separate reservoir so I want to cap off the OE reservoir. I will drain the fluid but some could spill over from the main brake reservoir and sit in there.

typically _rubber_vaccum caps do not hold up to brake fluid . The plastic ones might though

Any thoughts on a suitable option? I need to cover the nipple on the lower side of the stock reservoir.

a putty type epoxy maybe ????maybe back it up with a cap???Im not sure .Its hard to say.

A screw will work as well.

For some reason I'd like to retain the ability to use the reservoir if at all possible. You never know ...

Anyone know what the stock rubber brake fluid lines are made of? I could look for that material specifically and go from there. I know the reservoir is plastic so I assume plastic is okay.

Its a national secret apparently . Why dont you just clamp an appropriate sized bolt/screw in the original hose that was hooked to it ? In all seriousness...if you want to know ..just call motion industries hose shop on airport messer highway. Chances are they will have what you need. Failing that ...ask wilwood .
