Brake bleed nipple repair kit

[Mikey D]

Hi gents /ladies ,
Ok today's problem , basically 1993 polo brake nipple snapped off , numpty here goes to drill it out and of cource the hole where the fluid comes out is now offset , now a few weeks ago I saw a post about such topic and it showed a kind of tapped bush where u thread the calliper and loctite this adaptor or bush in and thread your new nipple into that ......

Helppp I'm sure it was on e bay maybe sold by bigg red but can't see it on bigg reds website .....

Cheers guys

New caliper is £28.99 on Fleabay

Not sure I'd like a caliper for under £30

I need therapy for sure but nipple therapy I'm not so sure about ......

Any more links to repair kits , the second option I'm not sure how it seals ,just on the drilled hole ?

I rang bigg red brakes before and ordered a couple of repair kits which fit a M10 x1m m pitch hole .
I've already got a tap so happy days .
Cheers guys

Ive seen broken bleed nipples drilled out / tapped to a bigger size and a bolt with a copper washer used to seal it.

I did similar on an old 206 rear caliper. Drilled it out bigger and stuck a bolt in with a bit of PTFE round it as a quick temporary fix.
Never got round to replacing the caliper or doing anything else about it though and it still had the bolt in when I flogged it about 5 years later.
