Standard size bleeder valve? That's the part I was missing and figured was the challenge.

I actually did find one....M7x1.0x34.

Would this work if I ground off the tip?
I didn't see a valve in my searches.

That should work. I don't know why valves are being mentioned - it's a bleed nipple

That says M4, and Spandit mentioned M7.

You're absolutely right - I labeled the photo wrong

It actually is an M7.

If anyone should happen to order the Dorman Bleeder screw (shown above) from Amazon, what you'll get is a box of 10

They don't mention that anywhere that I saw.

10 valves that are the wrong size?

Nope - they are the right size. 7mm thread and 34mm long after removing the tip.
Tomorrow I'll add the tube and make the bracket.

I'll try them out to make sure they fit and then let you know.

Paul, I would take a couple off your hands as well if they fit fine.

Same.

Paul: I'll take one if there any left. I can send you postage.
