Self bleeding nipples

Postby UKPhilTR7 » 29 Apr 2013 10:27

I remember talking to a member of here some time ago about bleeding the breaks and the clutch system on your own, by using bleeding nipples/nuts that fitted our tr's. They were spring loaded and allowed you to do the whole bleeding on your own.

I am unable to find the link and the ones we need (breaks and clutch)for our cars. Can anyone help with this search of mine?

Phil,
this has been discussed lots of times on the mail list over the years:
The front brake caliper bleeder screws RTC 1466
is roughly equivalent to the Speedbleeder SB7100S.

The rear brake cylinder bleeder screws RTC 1526
is roughly equivalent to the Speedbleeder SB1010S.

The clutch slave cylinder bleeder screw RTC 1115
is roughly equivalent to the Speedbleeder SB1010S.

All of them are also available in stainless steel. Which is nice...
