The screws are metric thread which might throw some local vendors. Try places that supply parts for European or Japanese cars and you might have better luck. Another option is to switch over to speed bleeders. There is some debate about using them, but I've been quite happy.

Here is the link to speed bleeders, and the part numbers:

www.speedbleeder.com

Parts:
SB1428 (1/4 X 28 X 1” LONG) X 1 for the clutch slave
SB8125LL (M8 x 1.25 X 1.5” LONG) x 6 (3 pairs) for callipers

You can get them in stainless (I didn’t) or regular. Also, get the I.V. bag as well, if it’s not included (can’t remember), but it simplifies the one-person bleeding process.

I had the same type of problem after replacing a master cylinder. I bench bled it first. Adjusted the pushrod a dozen times. Bleed the calipers 20 times at all corners. Installed speed bleeders. Bought the pressure bleeder and bled everything a bunch of times again. Took the calipers off to make sure the bleeders were at the highest level possible. Tapped on them while bleeding. Gallons of brake fluid.

Replaced the calipers with Wilwoods. Pressure bled them. Problem solved. ?????????
