Just installed and bled the clutch and that worked fine. Can’t do the brakes yet until I get the right front and rear bleeders.

Quite alarmed by the amount of corrosion on the clutch OEM bleeder when it came out.

Just spoken to Demon Tweeks who say the 30mm one is the only length they can get hold of. They say Goodridge don’t list a longer one

DON,T KNOW TO BE HONEST, i wasn,t going to change them myself, but if your rear sb7100 is 5 mm long than your new one then we need the 35mm sb7100 that speed bleeders show all uk suppliers are selling the 30mm ones like we bought like the sb8125l they don,t do the LL
But speed bleeders are showing the SB7100 in a 30mm and a 35mm SO I GUESS WE NEED THE 35MM

as you know i got my info from gunslingers picture and part numbers, looking at the picture tho the SB7100 in his picture looks closer to 30mm than 35mm, but on speed bleeders web site the 30mm is called a SB7100S and the SB7100 is showing 35mm, but over here in the UK a SB7100 IS 30MM

That’s not good. Wonder what mine will be like?? Bit of a delay with mine, our friends in Ohio have got covid, so they’re trips cancelled. They’re gonna post it instead, but not sure when.

ok, so looking at the speedbleeders site the SB7100 is longer thanthe SB7100s

i’ll get the wife to ask if they’ve posted my set. If not do I ask them to wait for a second order from speedbleeders, we could order two more 35mm ones and get them sent altogether?

yes i think your ok you got yours from speed bleeders and you ordered the SB7100 as you can see thats 35mm if you ordered the SB7100S you would have same issue as us BUT YOUR OK,

over here you can only order a SB7100 so you would think ok but no its 30mm over here they should advertise it as a SB7100S

It seems not, because the other option was leave it till they now come over in November, and as I’m in no hurry I said thats fine. So yes I’m happy to get two more sent to them and post them out to you once they’re here, if you guys are ok waiting till some time in november. I’m quite possibly going to add to the order and get a set for my project blackbird.

Rob, bearing in mind the corrosion I found on my clutch OEM bleeder, if I were doing it again I would probably opt for stainless steel in future

might of found by another member here a speed bleeder that,ll work in the rear, we know we need a SB7100 on speed bleeders webb site its 35mm long, over here in the UK MOST OF THE sb7100 are 30mm long in fact me and matt bought one as we thought there were ok but no 30mm long to short.
but this one on ebay found by another uk member propably will work its asvertised as a SB7100 but the description says its 34mm long
