I took the liberty of figuring out the size brake bleeder screw we need. M10x1.25 M10 describes the outside diameter of the thread and 1.25 describes the pitch of the thread. There is also a x1.0 (fine thread and x1.5 (coarse thread) but ours needs a x1.25 thread (medium I suppose)

Speed Bleeders are a one way check valve built into the brake bleeder screw so that you don't have to close and open the bleeder screw every time your partner hits/releases the brakes. Basically you can do it yourself without worrying about air going back into the line when you release the brake line.

They're 7$ a piece or you can get 303 stainless steel ones for 15$ a pop, plus 3$ per order for shipping/handling. I will be ordering mine shortly. I have no relation to the company or anything, I've just been looking for these for a long time, autozone doesn't carry our size, despite that they do carry the licensed "speed bleeder" screws, but the "HELP!" company doesn't make our M10x1.25 size :-(

Again our part is:

SB10125 # M10 X 1.25 1.35, (32.44)

Cool, good research. Handy for if/when I ever upgrade my brakes/lines.

yeah, I'm not going to spend the 15$ per line on the stainless steel 303 until I upgrade the calipers, figure chrome color would look hot with red/black/whatever color.

I think you could also achieve the same thing with just a one-way checkvalve place inline with the tubing that you connect to the bleeder valve... theoretically speaking if you could find one that wouldn't degrade, maybe just a simple aquarium one-way valve would work... those are like 3$... but not sure if air line tubing is the right size to fit on the nipple of the bleeder valve.

Well, at least it's a thought in the right direction... Now I just want a goodway to top off the master cylinder continually without having to keep checking it each time...
