Title: Brake bleeding nipples!
Post by: LeonL on November 08, 2009, 07:16:22 PM
Hi,

Replaced master cylinder today and bled brakes, however one of the brake bleed nipples is quite rounded so need a replacement ready for the next time i have to fiddle with the brakes.

I have standard G40 calipers, were can i purchase bleed nipples for it? Other then the scrapyard ;)

Thanks

Leon

i can supply these for about £1.50 each - same thread either slightly shorter than stock with the 11mm spanner flat or similar length with a 10mm flat

back ones you can get from gsf - but they are nearly the price of a cylinder

Got some ATE ones from the dealer - £8 the pair admittedly  :o , but damn good quality made of decent steel instead of the cheese from GSF.
