What Motive adapter will fit the RX8?

I did a search but mostly come up with speedbleeder posts. Anyone know which adapter fits the Motive Power bleeder?

I use the round universal adapter. If you want an exact fit adapter, you may have to call them because their web site doesn't list an adapter for the RX8.

this is what they emailed me but I have my doubts


Can you confirm the RX-8 has a round screw on reservoir cap that takes
>> about 2-3 turns for it to tighten?

then the 1100 and the 1109 will work.

Old thread, but hopefully a more clear answer

I purchased a Motive Bleeder recently and wasn't sure which adapter to get from the list here:
Adapter Pictures and Dimensions

I talked to the sales guy and he had me measure the inside diameter cap, and for my 2004 (production date 08/03) was ~1.8 inches (see attached image).

Apparently Mazda and even models within Mazda have different size master cylinders caps from year to year so you'll need to measure yours with a caliper to determine its size to see if my suggestion will work for you.

I test fit it last night and with the provided gasket it was a snug fit.
Haven't used it yet, so still not fully verified.

The model that I got was 1108/1118 which has a diameter of 1.900

Hopefully this clears up any future questions.
