hi glasgowjim

just joined this forum as ive been told it is a good way to locate parts. my 480 has had the nsr brake caliper seize up on me, and i was wondering if you had one for sale?

Looking for the little bleed bolt/nut that fit just behind the thermostat housing on the hose that goes to the heater matrix. The one that has broken is brass with a small hole up the centre. Do you have this?

Ianp no one will sell you a single bleed screw , it would have to be the whole pipe screw and all.

However the bleed screw can be replaced by any bolt with the same thread once the air has escaped and the water starts to come out just tighten a threaded bolt in to the bleed hole. It works and is just as effective. I ran with one like that for a while no problem . Second hand it would cost you the same for a bleed screw as it woulld for the complete pipe.

I can supply a rear brake caliper as specified but I am not yet at the stage of stripping down the braking system. It would be weeks away before I get to that stage as I am pulling long shifts at work just now.

I had a 480 with a reg close to yours .L232YNX

The best place to locate spares for 480 is 480 club europe website and forum. VOC is mainly 440/60
