[DeTomaso] Stock Radiator Bleed Screw Broke : (

[marshall smith]

Actually, a bolt or allen head for this new bleeder would be a better idea. I always need to cinch up my bleeder screw with pliers or vice grips to effect a tight seal.
Great idea Thomas.

 Doesn't look too hard
 to create one yourself.
 
 A
 brass M6x15 screew, drilled with a 2mm hole 10 mm deep from
 the end 
 and then a 2 mm hole perpendicular
 into the hole and a copper gasket and 
 you
 are done.
 
 If you can get a
 knurled screew it would be perfect.
