Default source of brake caliper bleed valve

Anybody know where I can get a replacement bleed valve for the standard RV-9A brakes?

I don't know the size of the bleeder used on those brakes. but, Napa has a good assortment. You can take the bleeder off the other calipar and bring it to a napa store to see if they have one. If you have a thread pitch gauge, you should be able to identify the good one and find another one on-line.

So you know, it is not a valve, just simple flared screw with a hold drilled in the center.
