bleeding nipples
mrwibble - 14/7/11 at 02:35 PM

my man boobs are really chaffing, can anyone recommend me a sports bra?

i'm looking for a pair of bleed nipples for a pair of ford focus st170 calipers, as i've rounded one off. local motor factors want to flog me new calipers, any suggestions?

Brakes International or Bigg Red would be my first port of call.

Do you know the thread and pitch?

Hi -

Standard thread for Eurozone auto brake components tends to be M10 x 1. Some more obscure calipers may have used M8 x 1, although AFAIK now these wil have updated to the M10 version.

Get stainless ones Ford tend to a coarser thread on brake parts than most Euro box makers.

They'll be M10 x 1.0 if they are either 10 or 11mm across flats, I have stainless from stock @ £2.50ea, if they are either 8 or 7mm a/f they are a bit cheaper at £2.20ea in stainless.
