    Forgot to say: be careful as even if the thread is metric, the bleeder must be locked with an imperial (5/16) wrench, not a metric one!

    The SB7100s are listed here : https://www.pmbperformance.com/catalog/item/8778691/6255311.htm a bit cheaper than what I paid for and they also sell ATF Typ 200 fluid (that's the good old racing blue, except for the color). The $6 bag is nice to have. Overseas shipping is more expensive then speedbleeder.com though.

    Stahlbus bleeders are much more sophisticated but 4 times more expensive. If you look for the BMW equivalent caliper reference (https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/rebuild-rear-brake-calipers.449537/#post-143402109), you can find the proper Stahlbus bleeder screw in their catalog.

    3 per caliper: 2 on the outer side (facing the rim), one inside ( facing the frame).
