Planning to change my clutch fluid and flush it through-the bleed line is coiled up at side of the gearbox,i am going to feed it up and make a bracket up at the top like some already have on here
Noticed the bleed nipple looks a little chewed and i would like to replace it-would anybody have the specs/sizing for it please
cheers

It’s been a while since I had to bleed mine , I believe it maybe imperial rather than metric , if it was me i would file the bolt to a size of a uk spanner and get rid of the rounding off , option two visit a good brake shop with the part and see what they can do , my concern would be would it be exactly the same

Whilst M10x1.0 etc is a common thread, you can get different angles etc for the taper, and different designs.

So it will depend on whoever supplied it, where they got their parts from etc.

You could order a random one and it will probably be fine....most probably. But there is a small chance it may not.

Thanks for the input folks-it does look fairly small so hard to file,will have a wee look in due course and feed it up through and try and keep it away from the r headers-once its up at the bulkhead it will be easier to deal with and bleed
