Mark,
Although I haven't heard of ss bleeder screws, my car gets bathed in the
"car dissolver" every winter too. I bleed the brakes once a year and
haven't had any probs with broken screws - knock on arborite desk top -
after bleeding a caliper I always spray some anti-rust coating (Green Rust
Check or Coat & Protect) and then refit the rubber caps on the bleed screw.
If one of those rubber caps breaks, well, the junkyard is full of 'em.
Huw has prolly done the ss bleed screw route - and powdercoated 'em yellow
too, right Huw?
Cheers!

balljoints though.

1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes - fasteners protected with a good
coating of two-stroke oil
