Hi All,

Hi,
Yes, the thread size is 3/6 UNF, and the hexagon is 7/16 af.

Give us a clue does that translate to 1/2"  or should be 3/8 UNF?

Hi, Sorry about that. Slip of the finger. Should be 3/8 UNF. The hexagon is
still 7/17 AF.

Hi,
sorry, I promise I was not Pi**** when I typed that.
For 7/17 read 7/16

1/2"UNF bleed nipple????

I think maybe 3/16" might be closer to the mark?

Then again....

I would think the drum brake bleed nipples are 1/4".

I don't remember what the bleed nipples on my S disks looked like.
Measure the diameter of the thread.

Kind of remember the back and front being different sizes.  One was 1/4 and
the other closer to 3/8.

Hi, Yes, the rears should be 1/4 UNF with a 5/16 AF hexagon.

That will be except the ones that are 3/8 UNF!!! There was one rear cylinder
that used the same as the fronts.

All fronts were 3/8 UNF..... calipers and cylinders.
