Afternoon all,

Whilst im in the process of taking my clutch out (slipping), i thought id inpsect all the other clutch ancillaries, clutch master cylinder looks ok...full to the top, whilst trying to loosen the clutch bleed nipple it snapped off, its obviously been seized solid so the previous owner may not have bled it at all and could be a distinct possiblity that over pressurisation/air causing the clutch to slip. Aanyway it needs to be changed:

Anyone know what size/type and where to get one from?

So many different types that i cant take the nipple out now to compare:

Don't know about just the bleed nipple, but Clever Trevor has the whole thing:

All sorted, a colleague at work recommended a company called Think Automotive who do everything to do with hoses fittings for F1,Champ car,GT etc who are only just round the corner from me! Popped in at lunchtime, got the exact fitting as above for £9, chuffed.

Will update the parts register as they do everything and anything to do with hoses,connectors, pipes etc
