Subject:      coolant system tester adapter...

Air continues to get into the cooling system.  I recently repaired a leaking
rear heater core and bleed the system. This fixed the issue for about a week
and a half.  This morning the *&%^& light came on again. No overheating
issues.  I'd like to do a real pressure test.  In the past I "rented" a
coolant pressure tester from a local auto parts store.  Of course, the
tested did not come with adapter for the Reservoir Tank.  So I tried
building one with a old cap and a bike pump.  It sorta worked, but my setup
was suspect, meaning I'm unsure if it was working properly.

I'd like to simply purchase the needed adapter for pressure tester.  I think
I may have found the correct piece, but want to be sure prior to ordering.
Does this appear to be the correct adapter:

If not, can someone guide me in the right direction.
