Where to find: Brembo Brake Bleeder Nipple.

Hello,
While (constantly) working on my brakes over the past few years, I've managed to strip one of the brake fluid bleeder nipples on my left front brembo brake caliper.
Does anyone know the best place to purchase one or two new bleeder nipples?
I have a 2004 Coupe 6mt with the Brembo calipers that came standard for that year.

Thanx in adance.

Nipple is a very technological word, My 2nd grade science teacher used to say that to get us all to giggle

Try NAPA auto parts.

Should be a standard thread size.

how did you strip just the nipple and not the caliper? hope you didn't strip the caliper.

my first guess would be INFINITI.....but that's just me thinking out loud.

I just stripped the part that you touch with the (10mm?) wrench. that is, my wrench is starting to fail the grip/slips. The caliper (& threads) are fine.
The nipple ("bleed valve" for those who start to giggle when they hear the word nipple) is getting stripped from me opening & closing it while bleeding.

I have a new/related question:
Does anyone have any experience with Speedbleeders (speedbleeder.com).
This is a relplacement bleed valve that has a one-way check valve built in, so it lets fluid out, but not air back in. You can open the valve 1/4 turn, get in the car and pump the brakes a few times, then get out and close the valve and you're done.
No opening valve/pump brake&hold/close valve/2-person operation to bleed the brakes.

Speedbleeder anyone?

well I was just trying to be nice. at first it sounded like he was looking for the nipples. so I dug up the image from the parts catalog. Then I realized he just wanted to know where he could buy one. So I gave him the part number as well and thought I will just include the image as a type of proof for the partnumber. No need to be an a$$hole about it. I was just trying to help.
