I found the Speed Bleeder P/N SB3824 at a couple of local supply houses.  They 
worked fine on the rear brake cylinders and the clutch slave.  But they did not 
work on the front brakes.  They are (at an overall length of 1.19" according to 
the blister pack) too short.  You can not get a wrench on them to seat them 
properly due to the recessed area of the caliper housing.  Looking at the Speed 
Bleeder site (http://www.speedbleeder.com/size.htm), it would appear that P/N 
SB3824L (at 1.53" long) would be in order for the front calipers.  But, alas, 
the local parts houses do not stock them.

Cheers.
