The ones i bought sucked ***. The front bleeders wouldn't tighten down on the caliper. Fist i thought i used the rears for the front, so i swapped them and STILL had an issue. FWIW, i would stay away and buy one of those one person pump bleeders.

ok, well your bad experience did not answer my original post. And you shouldn't be leaving the speed bleeders on your car for everyday use. I've used plenty on many different vehicles. Anyone else want to actually answer my question?

Well chief, my point was that b/c i couldn't fully tighten them, i couldn't properly bleed them. IDK if i got a bad batch or what, but they sucked. That is why i suggested using the solo pump bleeder. I'm just tyring to save u a headache...

N e way, i bought them from a sponser here, Texas Speed. Look under F-Body brakes and they have everything you need. Direct link to the page with them is below.

I don't know what size they are, but I do know that the front and rear are different. Maybe not by thread size, but they were different when I replaced mine with Earl's solo's.

I don't see how it would be bad if you kep them on for daily use. What's the point of solo-bleeders then? When you tighten them up, it cuts off the ability for fluid to be released.

Pretty sure they are 10mm. And if I remember correctly, the ARE the same front and rear. From my experience...they are GREAT!!
