Sure, I used the original cap from my old master cylinder which seemed to be of better material than the new master. Installed the retaining clips upside down in the vise and bent both sides inward, at the point where they go in the master, about 1/8th of an inch to "shorten" them a little. Used a 42071 dorman gasket.

Hope that helps.
