Where can I buy stainless steel bleeder screws ?
Well..... it sure could take the place of the banjo bolt that attaches
the caliper to the brake line. But it's almost the same price as the over-priced speed bleeder. I'm thinking that maybe an aluminum bleeder may do the job: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapages/an814.php I may eventually find a stainless bleeder from an aircraft brakes supplier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Thu, 14 Sep 2006 07:57:41 -0400, "JDHall" > wrote: >Definate vital info there > >This do you any good? > >http://www.pcsdaytona.com/racepage/pcs/75.html > > >expensive but.. > > >http://speedbleeder.zoovy.com/category/stainlesssteel/ > > > " > wrote in message .. . >> On Wed, 13 Sep 2006 01:15:20 GMT, "Kickstart" >> > wrote: >> >>> >>>> Thanks to all who replied. >>>> >>>> I don't want Speed bleeders.

I almost put those up as an idea but I have no idea how they would do
compared to the stainless. If you do try them let us know how they work out.

Where can I buy stainless steel bleeder screws ?
If you ever had an aluminum intake and seen how it is to remove the
thermostat housing bolts after several years, you know that aluminum and steel don't mix. They would probably seize faster than the plain bleeder screws. Plus aluminum is softer and more likely to break when you try to remove them later. The simplest solution is not to ignore the bleeders for 10 years. If you are checking them and flushing the fluid every few years, you should be fine. If you simply crack a bleeder each time to remove the tires for rotation or changing or every year, you should be fine also. Or do like Bob suggested. You can also buy some of the rubber nipples like for blocking carb vacuum tubes and slip them over the bleeders with a bit of grease.
