Cycleguy55,
Question on the speed bleeders. I had bought multiple bleeder sets for my rear Girlings. Non check valve version for use in reverse bleeding/flushing if/when needed and check valve speed bleeders left in afterward for regular maintenance.

On my new front Wilwoods I didn't install bleeders there (yet, wanted to) with concerns of others on the web having issues damaging the threads/seal with speed bleeders on their Wilwoods.

I don't believe Wilwood sells them (maybe?), but do you have a brand you like or any specific advice/cautions in that regard? Maybe the others were just not careful to really ensure the right bleeder dimensions (easy to figure)?

Those like myself, and perhaps the OP, could benefit from any thoughts there. Thanks, Brent
