Speed Bleeders....who has them?
Trying to find a vendor that has the speed bleeder screws for our C5 Vettes or if I knew the screw sizes that would help too!
Thanks in advance...

I got mine at M10x1.0 threadx33mm
They were cheap($8.07 per pair),since they fit a lot of Chevys,the "Vette Tax" didn't apply

Hey guys, just be really careful because not all speed-bleeders are the same...

Didn't think you had to bleed brakes that often. Is this another Vette quirk?

Hmm, posted a suggestion and it seems it was deleted. Must have violated a forum rule refering to a product via hyperlink.
My suggestion google motive products. You'll find a pressure bleeder that allows you to work alone, ensures you don't run down the master cylinder when bleeding and does not require you to use/trust easy bleed screws.

Go to the "SpeedBleeders" web site. They sell them direct and will tell you what size to buy.
