I found the lower clearance on the shorter speedbleeders inconvenient to get a
wrench around on the front calipers of my last Mk3 and went with the longer
HD's all the way around, this time. They seem to be a closer match to the
original bleed screws.
Best wishes,
Jeff

Kashif,
On the advice of another list member, I ordered:
Front calipers SB3824L
Rear cylinders SB3824HD
which fitted just fine.
Apparently the guys at Speedbleeder are quite helpful, and very happy to
discuss with you which of their sizes would work best. I guess you'll need
to tell them thread size and length so they can identify what you need. If
you still have the original calipers, try fitting the bleed nipples from
those to your Princess calipers - if they fit then you know you can just
order the same Speedbleeders as for normal Spit calipers.
