Bleed nipple thread size

WPR678B · Apr 1st, 2015, 18:37

Would anyone know for sure what thread the bleed nipples are in the ATE calipers as fitted to the front of a 1970 145?

I have 2 that are rounded off and managed to get one out but had nothing with a similar thread, and while the nipple was out brake fluid kept running out, so I couldn't leave it out for long!

Check with Simon at Brookhouse, I'm sure he'll have some.

I tried Brookhouse yesterday but they were too busy to answer any further calls this side of easter.
I think I have some now from a box of Volvo bits I bought last year, there were 6 in the bottom of the box I discovered this morning much to my delight, and the thread appears to be M7x1 although I will get this confirmed and post here so it will be of use to other users in the future.
Thanks for your reply though!

Just to confirm incase anyone searches for the same answer in the future, the bleed nipples for the ATE calipers as fitted to my 1970 145 are M7x1 pitch thread and are 22mm long overall.
