Default Schwaben Pressure Bleeder

Hey everyone!
I bought this pressure bleeder from ECS tuning that supposedly fits European brake systems. It is supposed to mount directly on the brake fluid reservoir. I was hopeful it would fit, and it seems VERY close to fitting, but I can't seem to get it to thread on. I have a spare reservoir cap (the one that has the fluid level sensor, but one is broken so i could modify if needed). Has anyone tried using this system and had luck getting it to fit or modifying it to work? Thanks for the information! The link takes you to the ecs tuning listing for the bleeder

It’s hard to see from the images in your link. I use this Orion Motor Tech bleeder. It’s got a “European” reservoir adapter and fits perfectly on my ‘67.

thanks! I’ll try that one and see if it fits differently. I have no problem returning one!
