An O-ring is probably better than the copper gasket used by the factory.

Marshall, that's why mine finally broke......cinching it down with

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.
