Default Speed bleeders.....#'s

I am basically finishing up my SS brake line install. The lines are in and its pretty easy and straight forward. I am questioning the speed bleeders. I am not sure if I have the right ones because they look shorter than the factory ones. The speed bleeders I have are M11 x 1.0 33mm long. The factory ones match the thread but the factory ones are about 3/16" longer. Is this correct or do I have the wrong ones?

Not sure about length, etc since I didn't really pay that much attention when I swapped mine out. If they thread in properly then thats really all that matters.
One thing that I would recommend when using them however, is to only unscrew them approx. 1/4 turn when bleeding. They work great. Also, I would strongly recommend you put the protective rubber covers back on when finished. Keeps the crud out. :D

Can you bleed all 4 at the same time if you keep the tank full?

I wouldn't go for all 4 at once, you've got no way of equalizing the flow through all 4. It only takes an extra minute or 2 to go around sequentially. The Speedbleeders make life easy!
