Default 1987 Saphire front bleed nipples -need to replace

Hi chaps,

Yesterday I managed to round off one of the bleed nipples on the front calipers, the other side is halfway gone also. I'm confident I can get these out, but I cannot find information anywhere on what size bleed nipple I need to order to replace them, or even where to find them?

There's loads of different sizes on ebay, but as I said, I don't know which size to order.

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Pretty sure they are M 10X 1.25, maybe try a bolt in one of the holes once removed, nb don't force should go in finger easy if correct.
