My guess is that they are a fairly standard Renault fitment. I sheared off both of my rear caliper bleed screws after much tapping, heating and spraying. Very carefully I removed the remains and replaced them with nipples from a Renault 8.

My GTA had been serviced by a dealer in the UK a couple of months before I picked it up, with both coolant and brake fluid supposedly replaced. I drained these when I got the car to Australia and found the rear nipples and clutch bleed had not been moved in many years, and that the coolant came out rusty.

I guess dealer mechanics the world over cheat on servicing to make bonus.
