Brembo Bleed Nipple Thread (MY 2000 R1100S)

During the recent service at RGM Roy was unable to change the brake fluid on the RH caliper as the BMW Filling Valve (in place of a standard bleed nipple) had failed. Unfortunately he didn't have a spare so I figured it'd be a quick job to change.

After a call with Steve at Southport a bleed nipple arrived today but once I started to remove the BMW fill valve it was clear that the Bleed nipple supplied was not the correct thread. I reckon the once supplied was a 7mm thread (a 7mm AF spanner would go over it)?

So what is the thread on the Brembo caliper M8 x 1.25? Anyone know for definite so that I can get one ordered.

Or is it M10x1, like this one?

Hi, just in case.............
I have a set of Speed bleeders that I got for my R1100S 2003 but never fitted.
I was sent two for the front SB7100S M7 X 1.0 and one for the back SB6100 M6 X 1.0
still unopened that you can have for £10 posted to the uk if they are any good to you.

Defo not that small a thread on the RH Brembo.

I have ordered an M10 nipple as pretty sure that is what it is......
