Speed bleeder for clutch?

So I would like to install one of these on the slave. I have the sizes for front and rear brakes, but the search here only turned up debate over the clutch size. Has anyone installed one and knows FOR SURE the correct size for the slave?>

If I were you I would remove the old one to check...I've installed one on the clutch slave before and when I ordered a new slave from the dealer, the thread was different than my original one. No idea why...

Did you try contacting speed bleeders? They should know the original size at least.

I haven't contacted them yet since I am at work. I'll pull the old one and get the pitch etc. I was just hoping for an easy answer LOL....can't blame me for trying right?

I don't remember which one it was but the slave uses the same size as either the front or the rear brakes.

It's a totally different type of nipple to the front and rear brakes. I'll see if I can find the photo.
You guys are lucky, I can't even get the bloody M8x1 ones over here in the UK for the front brakes!

I've been running a speed bleeder on the clutch slave for a year or so now and have had no leaks at all. Just for future reference for people on the forum.

Awesome, what thread was it? Did you use the little ball bearing from the pen setup?

Going through my order receipts, it looks like I used the SB8100 from speedbleeder.com on the slave.
