Just to share the result...

I received information from Ariel, that 3/8 x 24UNF is fine and the total length below the nut is 19mm.

I measured the thread of the original bleed nipples sticking out of the calliper and it was 3mm+.
So I ordered the ones with the 16mm total length as linked above.

Although the assembly worked for the rear callipers (have not replaced the fronts so far) it is very close to not being enough with 16mm.
Unfortunately about 17mm is not available and the next length would be 22mm and to be on the very safe side I would probably go for these next time.

Replacing the brake fluid and bleeding is very easy now.

I would like to replace the brake bleed nipples by Stahlbus ones.

In another topic I found that the correct replacement from Speed Bleeders would be SB3824, so a 3/8 x 24 thread.

Would the SB-110511 be a suitable replacement from Stahlbus with 3/8 × 24UNF and 16mm total length below the hexagon?

Many thanks
