Nipple help

Thought the title may ensure a few views...

I need to find some bleed nipples for these calipers. Can anyone help with a positive ID on them. They are fitted to a Marcos 1600 GT (same as the 3 litre but with a crossflow lump). And where can I get hold of the aformentioned nipples?

Thanks in advance. Here are the pics,

Mike

it has 16p cast into it, so it is one of these

Nothing unusual Girling P16 callipers ie the same Cortina M16 but with UNF Threads
ISTR they should be 3/8" UNF loads on ebay.

The next bigger size is 7/16" UNF but ISTR they are 3/8"

Thank you both. Your help is much appreciated. My pal is going to be a happy man. He thought he'd ruined the caliper..

As fitted to many an early Triumph, i.e. Vitesse, GT6 ect might help in sourcing parts.
