I already had all the stuff, besides the sprayer, laying around the house already. Didn't even take a whole hour to rig it up. Why spend $50 to $75 plus shipping when I don't need to?

I did go to Lowes and spend another $15 to get a better-built bleach/chemical sprayer. The one I bought at Wally World was a POS that was missing half the parts, and upon examination was one that had been used and brought back - they'd just resealed the box and stuck it back on the shelf for someone else to buy - didn't even bother taking it back, as they'd probably do the same thing over again to another poor shmuck, just tossed it in the trash.

The one I got at Lowes was an H.L. Hudson bleach sprayer, much better built, Viton seals, easily handles 15 psi, had an extra flat spot molded into the top for adding a pressure release valve. I used that flat to install a tee with a 15 psi gauge and a 1/4" ball valve for pressure release. Already had a 10 ft roll of 1/4" tubing on hand, installed that onto the outlet.

Fianlly figured out where the Mopar parts websites had the reservoir cap for the Jeep listed - they had the entire booster/master cylinder assembly, listed under "Cowl - Dash Components"! WTF? Are these guys just being purposely obtuse?
