Listees,

Has anyone purchased Speedbleeders for an 84 Westfalia Vanagon from speedbleeders.com?

I have purchased:

two for front wheels,

two for rear wheels,

and one for the slave clutch cylinder.

The Speedbleeders for the slave cylinder, SB6100, fit perfectly, and the rebuilt clutch slave cylinder is operative. But that is another message on another subject which I will post later.

The Speedbleeders for the rear wheel cylinders did not fit.

The person at Speedbleeder checked the conversion chart from VW's stock numbers for the front bleeder screws; and she assured me that the dimension, 7 mm x 1.00 thread pitch, was correct.. VW dealer gives 113 615 273 A, as the VW part number.

She further assured me that the 8 mm x 1.25 thread pitch for the rear bleeder was correct. VW dealer gives 211-611-477 A, as the VW part number

I did not check the front wheel cylinders, because I didn't want to open the system and have go through the bleeding process a second time, in the event the front Speedbleeder did not fit, either..

VW Dealer cannot provide the specifications for the stock bleeder screws, in the mm and thread pitch dimensions. Speedbleeder seems to be unable to solve the problem.

Does anyone on the List have access to that information? If I have the specs, then Speedbleeder can perform.

Thanks,

Tom Hanlon Palm Springs, CA 84 Westfalia
