You could try rover direct or AP,

I think they are metric probably m4, or m6, you might get some to fit off an other car etc. have a look in the scappy at calipers and wheel cylinders. I know the VW have quite big ones on the back. or a motor factors or motorsport shop.

You would be better with new ones tho...

Does anyone know the bleed sequence for the four pots?, 3 nipples on each caliper ?

BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....

now got a source of nipples

jsut want to know the thread so i can order the right ones and also so i can get a sutiable tap to clean the threads up! as il no doubt chew some trying to remove the old nipples.

i'll measure them mself at work on munday but dont ahve access to a thread gauge till then and would like to order them + the tap asap.
