Might be easier if you know thread size

Knowing the thread willonly get you a generic replacement that will not look anything like the originals. I'm assuming Bob is going for a total factory restoration so is wanting exact OEM parts.

Having said that do you have a pic of the bleeder screw? I have the OEM calipers from my 68 Coronet that were sleeved in stainless 25 years ago, can't use them right now because shop never replaced the old pitted pistons so they leak badly, I went with the aftermarket reproductions for now. I'm not to worried about 100% correct so if I have them I'd be willing to part with them.

I don't have any bleed screws to go by. If I had one screw, I could buy a replacement bleed screw made by Dorman Products. They have a line of replacement bleed screws. I just need the bleed screws if you want to sell them. This makes you caliper Halfs' almost worthless, and I really don't want to do that to you. I thank you for thinking of me. I will understand if you want to keep your calipers together. Bob Horman

The thread should be SAE and are usually fine thread. I would say 5/16 or 3/8, use a bolt to screw into the hole then you'll know thread size. If that other guy will sell you his then that's good otherwise figure out the thread and buy some Dorman

I got a tap set so I can figure the thread size but I need to figure the depth of the bleed seal. Bob Horman

Generally it's just a tapered hole and the bleeder has a different taper to create closure. You can tighten screw to seat and then blow air thru banjo hole and to test if it's sealed. With caliper dissasembled you can look into the bore and see the hole peaking thru
