I just went for a large one with a tapered nozzle. Heat the plastic tube and let it shrink onto the nozzle. A bit of locking wire twisted around it gives belt and braces to keep it there! They are cheap enough to buy a selection and the other sizes come in useful for all sorts of things around the house and garden.

Simply decant some brake fluid into a small aerosol lid such as the ones found on deodorant tins and you can pour the fluid directly into the reservoir after removing the rubber cap.
Easier than faffing around with syringes, where the rubber seal on the plunger will swell after one use making it not fit for further service Brian |

In Poundland one can get a little set of bottles for "flight" but there is a little syringe type bottle in those, they cost, er, oh, £1. That worked for me.

If you clutch is as leaky as mine, you need a "lamb feeder" from an agri merchants.
100ml syringe with an 8" tube attached... |
