Russell Speed Bleeders Part Numbers

[cajunfirehawk]

Anyone happen to know the size for a 42-48 ford car? my car is a 36 but I was told by Boling bros I have 42-48 drums on the front (pic attached) odd thing IS I just bleed all 4 wheels and the front two both took a 10mm wrench (I checked several times, bleeders were not rounded or anything) to bleed ???

My back were 7/16 see pic, assume those are "Lincoln style" rear drums? (Boling brothers item minus those silly spacers which are long gone!)


Thanks!

I just installed the Dorman equivalent(12701) of the Russel speed bleeders on my 48. The threads are indeed 3/8 24 but I also noticed that the new bleeders had a smaller hex size than the Ford part. I guess it was 10 MM, I don't know because I managed to use a 3/8 wrench even though it was loose.
