I believe you can buy a cap with a fitting and hose from Motive Products as a spare part for their pressure bleeder. Cost seems to be around $25, but it would make sense to by the whole kit for $50 if you went that route.

Years ago, before Motive Products produced a bleeder for DIY types, I bought a generic brake reservoir cap for a VW, drilled a hole in it and put in a brass nipple. The cap was vented, so I had to make a rubber disk out of 1/8 thick sheet rubber and put it inside the cap in order to make a seal. A pump-type garden sprayer completed the bleeder. I later added a pressure gauge to the pump canister so I wouldn't pump it up too high (around 10-15 psi works best). I've probably used my homemade bleeder for 20 years and maybe 2 dozen times.

However, today I would just buy one from Motive Products for $50. If I remember correctly, the parts alone ran almost $30 -- $15 for the sprayer, $5 for the cap, $3 for the tubing and clamps, $2 for the brass nipple, $5 for the dial type pressure gauge.

Your choice.
