Speed Bleeders

Postby tasroadster » Tue Feb 21, 2006 4:37 pm

I am about to order and fit "Speed Bleeders" to my NA 1.6
(from Rocket Industries)

I am wanting to know what size are the bleed screws?

I need to thread size + length?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Brilliant product, have used them for years.

There's a fitment chart at the company site itself:

Can I ask how much they are and can you get them locally in Sydney?

I ordered them from the US site and they were really cheap, I think it worked out at A$40 delivered?

Oooh, you're on your own there...I suspect that the clutch bleed nipple might be the same as the one on the rear discs, but don't quote me :D

The clutch bleeder thread changed at some point (possibly 1.8 release), any old slaves are of one size and any newer ones (or replacements) are the other size - either M7x1 or M8x1... I can't remember which way around though...

I've been using speed bleeders for years, never had a problem with them.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

The invoice says:

SB7100
SB8100

Clutch SB7100

I can't remember putting the clutch one on, so I can't tell you if that's the correct number. I forgot i'd ordered one, it's probably sitting in my garage somewhere :oops:

Not bad price! :mrgreen:

Mine were $7 USD each, but once you add shipping etc you're getting about the same price as ordering them from speedbleeder themselves but the ease of getting them from Repco.
