Default Brake bleeders, Firebird & Corvette

So I ordered a set of front solo brake bleeders for my Trans Am and was shopping by vehicle, for Trans Am/Firebird LS1.

Then a couple days later I realized that I was an idiot because I have converted my front to C5 Corvette brakes.

The bleeders aren't going to fit the Corvette calipers are they? Anyone know? I went back to the site and did a test order shopping by vehicle C5 Corvette and the part wasn't offered so I think no is the answer.

I thought I would ask anyway.

Curious if you contacted the shipper and asked? So us in the future might know.

Well I called them today and the solo bleeders were on back order and holding up the rest of my shipment so I just cancelled them to get the order moving. So we don't know.

I am 90% sure they will work.. I had solo bleeders on my C5 calipers and Im pretty sure I swapped them off my LS1 calipers.

They were nice.. I kinda miss having them, but now I have 4 bleeders up front and it wouldn't make it convenient enough to justify the cost.
