Lost Rubber Cap On Clutch Bleeder Nipple

[nova996]

Unfortunately, I lost the little rubber cap on the bleeder nipple for the clutch (the nipple on top of the tranny)

The bleeder is tightened to spec. But the rubber cap has to be ordered from Germany! ETA is end of this month.

Is it safe/OK to drive around with this off for 2-3 weeks? I guess as long as I keep the area clean, I'm OK, right? :(

Anybody know of something suitable to cover this? (some other part from some other company that is the same size, maybe??)

Any one that will fit and not fall off will do. I would not recommend duct tape or anything that is likely to melt from the brake heat.

I did not know you could buy just the rubber cap - thought Porsche would make you buy a new cylinder. Do you have the part number?

I have had other cars that did not have a cap on the cylinder or the brakes. I would not worry about it. A large auto parts place that has the "help" packages of odd parts might have a selection of rubber bleed nipple caps.

They are actually a cap with a plastic keeper.

Clutch slave cylinder. Not brake calipers.

Ahhh... my mistake.

I think One of the brake bleeder caps would work though I haven't tried.

Maybe I'll try that this weekend. Thanks!
