Sorry John---I can't remember where I got mine---somewhere online--- it was a few years ago and the little grey cells are failing me right now but Amazon has them for $49 and free shipping. Be sure to get the correct cap version---there are around 6 different versions---same bottle, different cap. Its the cap that fits euro reservoirs as I recall. $50 might seem like a lot for this thing but it is really sweet. I use mine maybe twice a year and loan it to friends so I've gotten my $$$ out of it if for no other reason than the grin on my face when I open the bleeders and fluid comes flying out---at all 4 wheels! Don't forget during all the fun to top up the reservoir and give the tank an extra pump or two every now and then...
