Brake bleeder caps

Any one know where to get these things? I just bled my brakes and the caps were so old they disintegrated when I pulled them off. These Toyotas use a 10mm size wrench on the bleed screw and not the normal flare wrench, so I assume the caps may be a special size as well?

Bleeder screws use box end wrenches, preferably 6-point, or a 6-point socket. The flare wrench is for the flare nut on the brake line.

Dealer would probably have the caps, or possibly a universal cap from parts store.

I ended up using the box wrench. Sadly I don't have any 6 pointers but I managed with the other one not to strip anything!
