yorkshirekowboy 19 1 Cars Posted December 24, 2008 M7, same for Bendix front or rear calipers & possibly Girling iirc. Graham. jees, been really hard to get some bleed nipples, none of my local motor factors have any, plus ive seen some on ebay for the 106 i believe and they are same, and asking 5 pounds each. is that how much you guys pay or can you get cheaper ones. found a place on ebay that sells bigg red brake stuff, they have m7 listed but they asking to tell them the total thread length.

yorkshirekowboy 19 1 Cars Posted December 24, 2008 ok, so what size did you buy? and wat total length? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamichris 9 Posted December 24, 2008 cant really remember, as I said someone posted up the link and sizes needed (might have been WP?)..pretty sure it was the M7x1.0 for the rears an M8x1.25 for the fronts as mine's a 1.9 so has girling fronts..I'll try to find the topic for you though, hold on a minute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamichris 9 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) what a memory, it was Welshpug! here you go, as I said M8 fronts M7 rears, i'm rebuilding rear calipers at the minute too http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...l=bleed+nipples Doesn't actually say the length for the fronts in there, just that they're M8 but the guy only sells M8x1.25 so I assume thats the right size, I haven't refurb'd the front calipers yet so they aren't fitted to confirm its right!

yorkshirekowboy 19 1 Cars Posted December 24, 2008 ace thanks for the quick reply, wanting some for my front 1.6 bendix calipers, pretty sure they are m7's too 1mm pitch same as rear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) exactly the same bleed nipple peugeot/citroen part number 4428 13, should be able to get some easily enough, same caliper used on a vast array of euro hatchbacks. edit,; also used on the bosch caliper on the front of many later cars.
