I haven't used it but their universal round adapter should work.

Do "people" add brake fluid into the Motive bleeder or simply use it as a pressurization device? I have one I got specifically for a 1966 PB system and I've only used it as a pressure device. I bleed one wheel and then refill the master and go to the second caliper...

And, this is how it's supposed to be done.

I believe the instructions say to put fluid in the bottle and push the fluid through its lines. I did that once and found it messy. Better to use the Motive as an air pump and keep filling the master. Easier clean up too.

I have come up with an idea that may work , have an old original master cyl.cover that i am going to drill a hole in and install a barb fitting that will hook up to the motive pressure bleeder. any thoughts to this idea

I always add fluid to the Motive reservoir, it works like a charm.
For the last wheel I occasionally tip the reservoir over a bit so the intake line is now getting air instead of fluid. That minimizes air in the hose, and I've not had any issues.

Might work. Would it be easier to use the universal round adapter?
