Default Where to get Clutch Fluid Reservoir cap?

Okay I've spent several hours trying (online)to find a part# for a clutch fluid reservoir and/or cap for my 99Z28 with no luck. I also went to 2 different autopart stores with still no luck!
Does anyone know the part # for the GM cap, or the GM cap/reservoir combo?
I did find some nice billet aluminum reservoirs(Ring Brothers 99000-4501B and Canton Racing Products 80-400) but I'd rather not spend $92-$140 unless i can't avoid it. Wilwood does have plastic type one (Wilwood 260-7577 $60) but its a remote reservoir for brake system and has a 4oz capacity, not a 1.5oz.

I'd prefer the least expensive route possible.

Anyway I'd appreciate your help and opinions

Thanks

A call-out to the sponsors, do any of you have the GM cap, or the GM cap/reservoir combo I can buy...?

Hell, I'll even buy a used cap as long as it isn't damaged in any way.

Well, I just found out GM doesn't sell the reservoir and cap separate, at least now they don't!
That would explain why I couldn't find a pt# for the cap and/or reservoir anywhere online or at the local auto part stores.

So does anyone/sponsors have a possible solution to my problem?

Checked E-bay again to day and got lucky, came across a used reservoir w/lid,hose, and master cylinder for $47 shipped; so I bought it.

Problem solved!

Just caught this now. FWIW, you can get a Wilwood reservoir and cap for roughly 13 bucks, plus shipping.
(misspoke earlier when I said 8 - the cap is separate). I've got a link to full kit below.

Here's a kit from Wilwood that contains everything from hose to cap. Shop around, and you can probably find it for $20 or so. The reservoirs are cheap at Jegs or Summit.

A gas cap off a older Briggs and Stratton lawn mower will also work. I tried it by chance to see if it fit when making a homemade clutch power bleeder adapter for my Menards hand pump pressure tank.

Nice kit!! I'll be getting this to seperate my 5th Gen brake/clutch fluid. I knew there was something wrong by paying 69$ for some ''kit''
