Where can I get a brake bleeder screw - 10mm x 1.25?
Stock is 10mm x 1.00, of course. I snapped off a bleeder screw in the caliper. Drilled it out, tapped it 10mm x1.00. It fits fine but it seems a little loose. I will try some teflon tape maybe. If it starts leaking, I'll have to drill it out and use a 10mmX1.25 bleeder. I know they make them, just don't know where to get them from. Might as well order them now, along with new 10x1.00 screws (since I broke one).
Thanks,

They sell a "bleeder repair kit". Think of it is a "helicoil" for your bleeder. It has an "adaptor" that screws into an oversize hole and then the bleeder (included) screws into it.
Hope that helps.
