Shimano bleed port screw thread

[bell.cameron]

Does anyone know what thread is on this screw? I'm at work planning to machine a bleed adaptor but just cant see to find anywhere on the interwebz.

I believe it's an M6, but i'm not 100%.

No adapter is required, the nose of a standard syringe is tapered plastic and will thread straight in to the port at the lever, use this as a reservoir and push fluid from the caliper which already has a nipple for the hose. It is easy as.

as suggested a syringe will work

but seriously dude... save machining anything..... buy the proper shimano cup..... its like $5.40?

Its an M5. But then what would i do with all my spare time at work? I have just shoved the syringe in there previously without issue, just making it to please myself really.
