FLAPS source for brake bleeder valve?
Does anyone know of a local source for brake bleeder valves? I am in the middle of bleeding my bakes for a track day tomorrow and one of the rear valves is stripped. I can get it to turn, so it will come out, but I'm afraid if I put vice grips to it, it will just mangle the valve even worse and it will get stuck in there.
Can anyone tell me the thread pitch that will work so I can see if the FLAPS has a substitute that will get me by for the weekend? |
I installed 8 x1.25 speedbleeders both front and back. Pelican said that one of them was 7 x 1.0 but that was incorrect. They're still sitting on my shelf in the garage. 87 Carrera.

Buy both sizes and return what you don't use.

Thanks for the info, it was exactly what I needed. Brakes bled and ready to go tomorrow morning!
Rear on an SC turns out to be 7x1.0. The rear calipers on a Carrera are slightly bigger so they must have an 8x1.25. I got both at Advance Auto. Thanks again! |
If you'd like to buy the 7x1.0 speedbleeders, I'd be happy to mail them. Just getting dusty here. I'd take $6.75 cash and that includes shipping (50% of new cost on Pelican where I got them the first time). They can go in a business envelope with 2 oz of postage.
I think they work great for bleeding prior to DE's, don't mind pumping the brakes. Send me a message. |
