Brakes - bleed nipple sizes? (again)
What sizes are the front and rear bleed nipples?
I want to put some 'speed bleed' valves on (like these) but I don't know what sizes to get. The standard MGR ones are here but it doesn't say what size they are: https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-SMG100070 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-SMG100060 |

I already used the search & didn't find a definitive answer for both ends. |

I honestly cannot remember now that you say that. Rears were different on mine, but then I was doing a 190 modification. The ZT and 75s will be the same, the 190 brake setup may yield a difference though, I cannot remember.
Checked through my purchase history, here are the set that I bought. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-...72.m2749.l2649 or titanium if you are feeling flush https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-75-...kAAOSw35hccBVB

The 1st link above (non Titanium) is similar to the set I bought. They're both from the seller 'Brakesint' but yours is kit NIP2021O and mine is NIP2012L (shown in my pic). I wonder what the difference is. The sizes given are the same in each kit though. The larger of the two valves is the rear, and presumably the smaller one fits the front, although I haven't tried them yet because I can't get the front wheels off at the moment. So assuming the smaller one fits the front calipers, the rear size is M8 x 1.25mm and the front is M7 x 1.0mm. 9mm spanner for the rear, 7mm for the front. Looks like Merlin have got both sizes in ABVs (Goodridge Speed Bleeder) - https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p...ed-nipple-g-bn (see dropdown). Last edited by Blink; 11th November 2019 at 08:10.. |

Just to really confuse things - Brakesint website (link) says there are two options for the rear caliper nipples on my 75.
a) Solid discs - use nipple BBN40 M7 x 1 b) Vented discs - use nipple BBN82 M8 x 1.25 My car has solid discs on the rear, so the M7 x 1 nipple should fit the rear caliper. It doesn't - I've tried it and the diameter is too small. The M8 x 1.25 does fit the rear caliper. Then for the front caliper nipples it says to use BBN82 M8 x 1.25. So they've got the solid rear ones wrong. They might have the front ones wrong too - I don't know yet. Last edited by Blink; 11th November 2019 at 09:07.. |
