What size speedbleeders?

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of installing a set of SpeedBleeders on my 3rd gen, but I'm not sure what sizes I should go with. I have stock calipers in the rear of the car, but I have an older M2 big break kit (with the four piston Wilwood calipers) in the front. I'm not sure what size to go with. Any ideas?

Call the speedbleeder folks up and see if they can help. I didnt' know the thread pitch or anything and i told them that it was a 94 FD and they knew what to give me. I'm sure there's a fairly small number of variations, so it couldn't be too tough.

I figured as much for the rears, it's the front calipers that I'm more concerned about...

Bacon,

That looks good to me! There's nothing specific on the speedbleeder website, that's why I was looking around. I figured I would get a faster answer here than by calling M2!

JR,

Now I feel like an idiot! I didn't even follow that link thinking it would just be specific car models under it.
