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

 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.
