MG MGF Technical - Nipples

Don't get exited, these are the metal ones.Does anyone know if it is still possible to get ABV (automatic bleed valves) brake bleeding nipples? All the motor factors etc.round here have never heard of them, yet they used to be easily available. I used to fit them to all my cars, makes bleeding a simple one man job. All I can find on the 'net are "Russell speed bleeders", same sort of thing, but only seem to be available in America. Any ideas anyone? Regards.
