Brake Bleed Nipples

[Jonny weggie]

I have brake fade every now and then, after inspection found that the bleed nipples were leaking so tightened them up and there still slightly leaking so now i'm going to drain full system and put new fluid and new nipples on is there a certain size for the nip's or are they standard of the shelf.
If anyone else has had this sympton and is not bleed nipples can you please let me know what you did.

Thank you in advance
Jonny.

I had something similar which turned out to be the seals on the servo, only showed up at first after some spirited driving then as they got worse gradually lost all stiffness in pedal.Nipples shouldnt be too hard to get! ( ooh missus )

I know there's at least two different sizes of bleed nipple threads, from actual experience.

I reckon you should take an original if you can to make sure you get the right type....

Half decent motor factors should be able to match from the thread on the old ones...
