They're widely available in parts stores, speed shops, etc. and come in a variety of sizes to replace bleed screws in OEM and after-market calipers. For Wilwoods you only need a pair for each caliper to replace the upper bleed screws - you can leave the lower bleed screws in place as you'll never use them anyway.

BTW, my rear lines were pretty much completely dry when I bled them, and I was astounded how many pumps it took of the brake pedal before I got anything out. The key message is it may take a lot longer than you think before you get all the air out. Brake fluid is relatively cheap - don't be afraid to waste some, and always start with the wheel furthest from the MC and work closer as you go (RR, LR, RF, LF - for LH drive cars).
I just finished using my pressure bleeder, still no luck.

I will revert back to my wife's assistance and see how that goes.
