Here's a good place to get the right one. Fits all Porsches as far as I know, and definitely fits the Boxster and the 928. Go to http://www.928gt.com/ and search for Motive. It's only $39 and they are good people to support

I did not invent this wheel, just improved on it a bit.

Saw something like this on a BMW site years ago, but they were using a rubber valve stem and then playing around with it so that it would seal when inserted in the hole drilled in the cap.

I had a metal valve stem laying around and just had to tighten the nut on the the back end of the stem, as a metal valve stem come with 2 rubber seals that seal off the hole you need to drill in the plastic cap for the valve. You also need to block off a small vent in the cap or you cannot pressurize the reservoir. I used a hot melt glue gun to close the vent.

You also need a regulator on the compressor to limit the PSI to about 20 or you can damage the reservoir. That is why Motive has a pressure gauge on the side.
