scubapics Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm about to do a brake fluid change and thought I'd replace some of the brembo bleed nipples that have rusted over a little. Does anyone know of a supplier where I can get some stainless steel ones that fit the brembo? Does anyone know what size the brembo ones are? I think they are M10x1.0 but what length? Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Save yourself some cash. If the standard ones are only a little tarnished, then use some very fine emry paper to take off the surface corrosion. then use a little Autosol to shine up. Sorted. zmanalex would be able to supply original brembo ones I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty in stock, however as Lexx has suggested, a clean up is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Anyone know the exact length of these? Mine are beyond a clean up, they are a bit rounded and need replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 A very very kindly well respected forum member came round today for a look at my nipples If nobody knows the exact sizes I guess I will have to go somewhere that can find out or take one out and measure it properly... They are apparently the exact size of the STI bleed nipples but I don't want to take a chance and cause any damage http://www.oakos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=355&Product_Code=SB1010S&Category_Code=1065000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get some too as I hate bleeding brakes but after reading reviews 70% of people say they are rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 A very very kindly well respected forum member came round today for a look at my nipples Do we still have these? Did he have a clipboard? I've had a little look online and it appears that the majority of brembos are an m10 thread, I'll pop one of mine out & measure it if you want? But perhaps give Hi spec ms a ring first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 As I said if they don't know the length of the nipples off hand I don't mind getting one of mine out purely for measurement purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
