914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What's the difference between f/r brake bleeders ?

Posted by: cary Aug 16 2005, 02:35 PM

Just finished rebuilding all 4 calipers. I'm waiting for a new clutch cable to come from Pelican. So I thought I'd put in new bleeder valves. Pelican catalog shows them being different, front and rear. If I remember right. I had 8 in my hand. I screwed them in with no thought about front and rear. I do have one pair that are 8mm sized. But they all seem to be the same.

What am I looking for ?

Didn't even give it a thought. Mine are all 73 & 74's so I didn't even think about it.

73 1.7.

They're all the same 7x1 threads. The fronts are generally "longer". They don't get much different until you get into an S or A-Caliper.
