Hi,
I am wanting a smart looking bleed T for a 10mm ( int diam ) heater hose, I am sure I saw one at the Kit car show some years ago.
Any ideas where I can source one ?
Thanks

What do you mean by smart looking ? Plastic, stainless or something ?

Most solid tee's will be measured in outside diameter, or ID of the rubber hose that goes over it.

Likes of Demon Tweeks would maybe have something, or most DIY stores would ahve plastic stuff, or maybe 10mm Microbore copper etc

Ahh, see what you mean now.

Might just be as handy to get one made up. All you would need is some stainless tubing and weld a nut/bolt arrangement onto it to create a bleed escape.
You could then attach a fancy knob on top of the bolt so it looks nice.

or something along those lines

Or maybe the likes of Spec-R or some of the typical alloy fabrication places could make you one up
