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

Bleed Screw Broke : (
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.
