Caliper Bleed Nipples

[Ashy]

Ola,

I snapped a bleed nipple off in a rear caliper today but I managed to drill it out. Anyway, I've been all over trying to get a new nipple but with no luck at all!!

The nipple measures 7mm, and it looks like a 1mm pitch but the Reno garage say that they only sell M6 and M8 nipples!?!?

Whats the crack?

Anyone know where I could get some?

[Tiny Tim]

Got a local Pirtek/similar?

[Ashy]

aye, do they sell em?

[Ashy]

just phoned them,dont do anything like that

Any other ideas?

[car.crash]

if you know what size your after then order them over the phone from think auto. i have bought some from them before.

are they standard brakes also im braking a campus which should have them on the front i dont mind getting them off for you

[Ashy]

I have no idea mate? I was hoping to get hold of some quickly so i could get the car back on the road tomorrow

Doesn't look like its gona happen tho! Guess I could go to the scrapyard and see what the have?

Thanks for the offer tho.

[bye_all_c_ya]

well if needed ill send them over

[TNT Tricky Nicky]

would suggest kwik fit or the like as they have boxes of them laying around for such occasions, i kno this cos a mate of mine works at one

Scrappy is worth a look mate if your stuck. Any renault/citroen/pug with the same calipers will do, 106/ax/saxo base spec front calipers have the same bleed nipples, same caliper without the handbrake mech.

I'll give kwik fit a call tomorrow cheers

Brigsy I thought the same so rang the local Pug dealer who were nearly as useless as Reno!! none on the shelf & need a chassis number to find out if they can get M7!!

ashy didnt biggred sort you out.?

they recon all kinds of calipers so i would have thought sourcing some bleed nips from them wouldnt be a problem

[Ashy]

HI m8, once I got the calipers off and had a good look at them I didn't bother with the re-build. They look fine so just cleaned them up and bolted them back on.
