Bleed Boss Cap - Substitutions?
Part in Question... Y2HW1000 - Bleed boss cap - Ultegra BR-8170 Brake Caliper
Not surprisingly I'm unable to find a direct Shimano replacement. Before I break out my micrometer and measure it and begin my Internet search I was wondering if anyone has a tip where to source this part or a workable substitution?
