I'm an idiot.

I replaced my rear discs and pads, had to bleed the brakes a little, and didn't tighten the rear bleed nipple very well.  It vibrated loose and now it's gone...  With what do I replace it?  Trying to find a parts list or even caliper model numbers is defeating my google-fu.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Update: Found the answer, see third reply.

Thanks for the help, Speeddog, unfortunately I wasn't able to make that page load from Australia (though it's working today, strangely).  But in the meantime I made some progress. 

According to this page, the brembo rear caliper on the 1993 M900 is PartNo: 20.5161.42

Which led me to this PDF which has the breakdown for the caliper itself, including dimensions, and most importantly, the 'available spare parts'. 

The bleeder screw is PartNo: 105.3246.11
(the dust cover is PartNo: 205.1502.10)

The bleeder screw is described as 'F8 Style'.

So now I'm off to find a local source for this part.  And then I'm going to screw it in tightly.  =/

Not too tight!  Aluminum caliper, not very strong bleeder screw.  Maybe about 5 Nm. or about as tight as you would make something with a screwdriver.
