I got two new bleed nipples for the rears yesterday, and they fitted! With my luck, I was almost sure they wouldn't

Were they the 3/8" bsp - intended for rear brakes (so could be handy) - or are they m10x1 which is used on all 'European' cars ?

I don't need them. Fortunately I have a couple of spares - which I'm going to hold onto now!!!
