You can also get them at you local NAPA store or they should be able order
them for you. So far I have them installed on my p/u truck, the Tiger brake
system, my Alpine brake system and the Alpine's clutch slave, with more cars
waiting for them. For what it's worth ..... I think they are great!
In case anyone is interested;
Speed Bleeder NAPA #675-1565 2 per pack
