Nipples?

Post by **Pushki** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:13 am

Does anyone know the size of the brake bleed nipples on the 2.2 VTEC calipers?
I want new ones for when I eventually refurbish my brakes. Thanks.

Have a look on brakes international - I'm sure they list them as a part for the caliper that you can buy seperately and it says the thread size etc?

Will do. Cheers Wurly.

Nice!!!! Bit pricey though.

Agreed.

I like the concept, but the cost....

Be careful to get ones long enough, or the nut part will catch the caliper before the conical part seals at the bottom, I'll go measure some spares I have in the shed in a minute........

EDIT: From tip to the top of the thread needs to be a minumim of 18mm.

Thank you Vtecmec. I'll probably get them from Brakes Int.

Wrong forum I'm afraid Greeny.
