Favorit caliper bleed nipples

Where the blimmin' flip can I buy these from??



I've been to two motor spares places, the breakers haven't got any......oh, just thought - main dealer. Hang up...


*Time passes*

.......a dealer 15 miles away thinks he *might* be able to get them.



Shall I post this then? Yeah, buggrit, it'll be an example of what a load of hassle a part costing 50p can be.



Any other examples of this?

any......oh,

You may have in your area a specialist supplier of brake parts. They *may* have a name like friction linings or similar. They may have the nipples you require. As might an exhaust fitting place.

Ideally you should remove one and identify what thread you've got . Also measure the vital dimensions of it. It may well be the same as other cars esp. ones by the same manufacturer.

That was half the problem, admittedly; the problem of driving the thing with only 3 nips attached :)

I can't imagine them being specials - surely VW etc will use them?

German and Swedish or Eurocarparts?

I don't think there's much that's special about them but there are, apparently, so many different sizes that the places around here don't sell them singly; just in a selection box kind of thing. I'd hoped that they might be a standard size, fool that I am.
