Anyone got a good fix for these?
don't really want to get a new hose with the same type of bleed screw in it.

I have a spare vx bleed screw. I bought when I thought it was leaking. It was the actual collar that was leaking, so didn't need it Cost me 4.00p (cheap for a vx part)

If you do a search, there's a jubilee clip fix. I did this along with some PTFE tape, no leak now.

This is a resurrection but I am in need of exactly that bleed screw after mine sheared off. I didn't realise the entire thing was plastic and have managed to unscrew the thread that was left inside, but can't find a part number or replacement for the life of me, Desperately trying to get it running over this weekend.

Seem to remember I got mine from Lotus. The replacement was brass not plastic. It's listed as part of a rad hose replacement but you can get them seperately and not expensive.

you can use a normal screw, however the important thing is the small 'O' ring seal which stops any leaks
