brake bleed screw size?

<< < (2/2)

neat street:
From what I can see, its standard??? thank you for your replies, guess someone has messed around with it at some time in its life  :)

florence:
the best option for repair I have seen is a stainless steel banjo bolt with bleed nipple in the top.  (You leave the old broken nipple in place) I have this arrangement on mine and it seems to make bleeding easier.  It's been there for 30 years through rain, shine and salt and still works perfectly.

problem kinda solved... Filed the top of the bleed screw hole and yes, someone had put in a helicoil and also damaged the hole for the bleed nipple to work, solution throw it away and buy a replacement... thank you all for your help

Bryanj:
Look at mmatti on amazon, you get complete thing with pads and mounting bracket for what i think is a reasonable price

Thanks Brian, yes thats a bargain :-)
