The speed bleeders I installed were on a Austin Healey 3000. Purchase at
local parts store under the brand name of "HELP SPEED BLEEDER". I took my
old ones in for comparison. The part number I purchased was #12701 which is
the same as SB3824 from the web site for SpeedBleeders. I suggest you just
take in an old one and compare for size. There are only a few to pick from
and they very different so just eye-balling it will work.

Ron,
I tried the Speed Bleeders web page but they don't show them for MGBs. It
looks like they are all $13 a pair but I have no idea if they have
different threads for different cars. What part number are yours?
Incidentally I gave them a jibe about their "Automotive Application" !! I
just cannot understand why they did not do the list in alphabetic order -
makes it SO much easier.
