Yes, same as on most european cars of the era.  Even fits my X1/9.  I
got mine through Bavarian Autosport (bavauto.com) but I think it's the
same thing.  I use mine just as a pressure vessel, never above about
10psi, otherwise you can have old water-logged fluid mixing with good
stuff.

Subject: Q:Brake Fluid Reservoir Cap Size for power bleeder?

Hey Folks,

I'm looking at a Motiv brand power brake pressure bleeder.

For those of you in the know:

Is the model 0100 they call "European Bleeder: fits most European built
cars" with the 45mm cap
the correct size for the Vanagon?

Thanks,
Best,
