LCR Brembo Nipples

[JDUB 20V]

Some a'hole (previous owner) has messed up the threads on my driver side caliper nipple & calliper, went to remove the nipple to bleed brakes and found this, i have to now get this re-threaded or replace the caliper, does anyone know if the caliper nipples are sold separately at all?

 

[big rich]

pretty sure you can buy them mate.

[JDUB 20V]

Anyone?

Now i understand why you were asking me about the Brembos yesterday!

You can get genuine Brembo nipples from a Seat dealer. But they are pricey. There is another place that sells them, I did a search on the forum and it came up.

Best to heli-coil the caliper, it can be done. One of mine has it. I you can't find anyone let me know I can put you in touch with someone that does it

You can buy any M10x1.0 bleed nipple. Pretty sure HEL do stainless ones for about a quid
