Hi folks

I have bought some new bleed nipples for my brakes and not sure whether I got the right ones or not

What are they like? I bought them from a motor factors as I am banned from the local Ford dealership

BTW the car is a MK4 Cabriolet with an RS conversion

Thanks

 

I bought some for 70p each the other day, should look like a bullet with a 10 or 11mm top - i think they are a pretty std app

 

Is that all they are though?

Do they have some sort of O ring or anything else with it? Its just that I have got the nipple on its own.

 

Just try and see if they fit, but don't force them in, in case they are a different thread, as said should look bullet shape/ish with a tapered end with a small hole in the taper, this is to allow the fluid to flow through the drilled body, fairly common thread though on fords.

I had someone look at them and they reckon there right so just hope the old ones come out okay. I have a broken one so that will be a bit of a bummer to get out

 

oh dear!! they are a total pig to get out when they have snapped, ive never managed to get one off yet thats snapped!

As said no orings or anything on a nipple, like tabs siad the only differences are the thread ususally and the lengths can vary!!
