speed bleeders
« on: Sunday,July 10, 2022, 07:37:19 AM »
HI:
My S2 is an hour and one half away or I would go out and see for myself as to what thread size is on the rear drums and the Girling calipers for my car.
I have put speed bleeders(or their equivalents) on another car of mine and they make fluid change a one person, simple task.
I did a search and was not lucky.
Thanks

HI:
Thanks!
I was looking for that 3/8/24 TPI rating.
I have a Tiger in the garage but the stock brakes were all changed out (the originals very similar to the S2's as I recall).
I did put speed bleeders on it and it makes bleeding brakes an easy project without having to get my reluctant wife involved.
The Lotus is in a small town for storage so when I go there it is more of a military maneuver to do what I want to and have some fun time.

These are the Speed Bleeder part numbers on the second photo. I don't remember which end front or rear needs the longer bleeder.

HI:
Thanks again for the information.
I have one of those hand operated vacuum devices which can make a two person job one but the speed bleeders are the most efficient.
