Newbie. Congratulations on your new forum. May it grow and prosper. Anyone had any experience bleeding the brakes on a RR Classic (93). The bleed screws in my calipers appear to be an odd in-between size (not quiet metric, not standard). Any clues? Thanks.
 
No idea if this applies to a RR, but on my other European vehicle the bleeders take a 7mm wrench. Not a tool that is usually found in your common metric wrench sets.
 
Seems to be just a little under 11mm. Will try it.
By the way, that is a very nice site with your restoration project. The car looks very nice.
 
Just a thought but try a Whitworth wrench if you have any......Their sizes are somewhat in between stnd and metric
