Can somebody tell me what thread size the bleed nipples are on a Chim with standard brakes fitted? 7mm?

I don't know what your's are as I have different calipers but I am sure they are a strange tapered unusual thread as I had one of mine go a Brands recentely.
Got lucky at a custom m/bike workshop nearby who had the, (rare) correct fitting!

I would seee a specialist.

On my car the fronts are 35mm long with 15mm long threaded section cut on M10 x 1mm pitch, the rears are shorter (28mm total length) with only 9mm long threaded section. They too are M10 x 1mm pitch.
