I've always conquered bleed nipples with Plus-gas and as a final (and effective) resort a set of Snap-on stilsons about 75cm long - doesn't matter if the hex wears off, these herberts always do the trick. Make sure a new nipple is to hand (so to speak) before you use them. I've never seen anybody else have this bit of kit - they are about as long as a biro so can get in awkward places.

Will I be able to get new nipples (For the calipers) easily enough? Don't fancy having to but new calipers just for the nipples.
Yes Wammers I was using double hex spanner will try with single but do fancy a spare set just in case.
Not sure about using the eezi bleed system as the P38 seems to have very fussy bleeding method

Bleeding a P38 is very easy IF you use the correct method.
