Default Speed Bleeders for a 1980.
What is the thread size for speed bleeders for an 80. The front has 2 sizes listed. One is a metric size.

a little confusing, you are asking for the size of the wrench not the thread on the bleeder? You dont have a inch/metric ruler and you dont own any metric wrench set of small sizes?

Not asking for the size of the wrench, the metric size of the bleeder.

1965 to 1982 from the factory used the same bleed screw, so if you have metric threaded bleed screws somebody changed the calipers to use them.
