3/8 UNC Bleed nipples, (non-406)
Anybody know where these can be obtained nowadays - looking for two for a '74 Aston V8, (no, not mine)!
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

I'm going up to the mot garage in the morning I'll ask if they have any...they carry a lot of stuff for Jags including the older models, so they may have some.

I had a swift Google and there's loads, but I did notice there's different lengths, not sure if that's something you need to take into account but I just thought I'd mention it.

Length shouldn't make a difference, except the length of the shank at the bottom of the thread.steve_earwig wrote:I had a swift Google and there's loads, but I did notice there's different lengths, not sure if that's something you need to take into account but I just thought I'd mention it.

That looks promising - I'll pass on the link, thank you. If they have any at the garage, I'm sure the Aston's owner would be happy to pay for them.jasper5 wrote:You could ring these people http://www.brakesint.co.uk/index.html

Thanks for the other suggestions, gents. It's easy to find 3/8 UNF nipples, (24 Threads Per Inch), or even 3/8 UNEF, (32 TPI), the trick is finding 3/8 UNC, (16 TPI).

Could you tap the caliper out to a different thread? Or even timesert/helicoil the hole to accept a different nipple.

Unfortunately, the only ones they had were metric which is the same as myself....sorry.
