WIlwood SL-6 bleeder size
Hey guys,
I have a couple broken bleeder screws that id like to replace on my SL-6 woods. Are these bleeders specifc to wilwoods or can i just get some speedys at the local parts store? IF so, do you know the size?
The previous owner got carried away i guess ;o)
thanks!

You need to get special bleeders from Wilwood. Sadly they are not the same size as the bleeders on the Wilwood calipers used by the circle track racers. They come in a 4 pack. My local circle track parts supplier was able to order them from his catalog.

I'm running SL6 calipers with speed bleeders. They are nothing special, something like 1/4-28 thread, I don't recall exactly. I picked up them up off the shelf at Napa, very standard size.
They seat into the larger brass fittings, I presume to protect the aluminum caliper.
