 Front and rear are 3/8 24 and roughly 1.3 " long. Looks like the SB3824HD
should be perfect. Might use the SB3824L # just to be on the safe side. 

Your mileage may vary on the front calipers. Mine are Girlings but they're
aluminum ones off an old F1 car.

Sorry for the blather, it's early and I haven't had enough coffee. The
speedbleeders go on the caliper and slave cylinder. I'm going to order
some, so I'll go and measure them--they're probably 1/4 28.  I have them
on my Norton and my MV Agusta. For some stupid reason I never thought to
put them on Peyote, but they're wonderful. Simple, obvious, and long
overdue.

www.speedbleeders.com  The ones for Tiltons or wilwood superlights fit
Girlings. The tilton small master cylinders are diecast girlings,
basically.
All the parts except the outlet fitting (deep AN-3) are interchangeable.

Bruce Wentzel sells them. He'd know.

Not on FOT list (he's a Corvette guy). I got mine from him 2-3 years
ago.

Bruce is at greendot1@comcast.net.

Or you can get them from Solo Performance Specialties --
www.soloperformance.com -- tell him (Dave Whitworth) what your car is
and he supplies the part.
