The item works as expected, tech support is very helpful. the problem i had is getting the plate to seal on the vintage style master cylinder. the chains & clamps wont work you will have to use a couple of c-clamps to get a good seal & even it is difficult. I believe if you were using this item on a modern master cylinder that is attached with the screw seal then it would not leak. Motive tech support is helpful & will advise the customer of the work arounds for this item.

this is the worst product ive ever wasted money on . and ive wasted alot of money in my life. as a matter of fact this thing cost me more money than the purchase price.

If your early American vehicle has a plastic reservoir on the master cylinder, you need Motive kit number 0115, NOT Motive kit # 0105 (or adapter # 1115 if you want to purchase separately). I have found neither kit 0115 nor the adapter #1115 on Amazon(yet), so far I have only found it on the Motive website: [...]
Here is what Motive has posted regarding this: "For reservoirs larger than 3x5" and for all plastic reservoirs we highly recommend using our new metal version of the 0105, the 0115."

Hope this helps.

Worked great. No leaks if you use a support block on top with a c-clamp to hold and seal the cap to a metal master cylinder.

The product worked as expected, except it was hard to get the adapter to seal around the master cylinder reservoir. The first problem was the plastic reservoir had bulged out on the sides, had to use a C-clamp to squeeze it back in. The second problem was the adapter wouldn't seal at the ends, the chain pull down system is a little lacking, but due to the slant design of the GM master, I don't see any other way. I used two more C-clamps at either end, and still had leakage. Made a big mess, but it did hold enough pressure to do the job. I gave four stars due to the adapter seal problem, but otherwise, it works well.
