        Malcolm, that bolt may or  may not have a groove cut in the threads
to allow easy bleeding.  I always  remove the bolt and check, if no groove I
cut one with a cut off wheel in my air  die grinder.  Groove does not need to go
all the way up to the head of the  bolt.  Make sure the copper washer is
there and in good condition.

>>>>>>>>>Is the BOLT that is used to bleed  the front radiator any special
bolt?

Does it have grooves in the  threads to let the air escape?

Is it just an ordinary 13mm  bolt?

If a special bolt, do you have one for  sale?<<<<<<<<<<<<
