Brake Caliper advice needed or does anyone have a spare one?

[G9RGE]

About 4 months ago, i had a brake pipe split whilst on a spirited drive, i saw this as an opportunity to give the brakes an overhaul as they were on my list of things to do.
I bought new pads, braided lines and had the discs slightly skimmed so the new pads would bed nicly.
However my problem started when i noticed that the front passanger caliper had the bleed nipple snapped off, i then found that out of the 8 nipples in total, 6 sheared off. I have since had them all drilled out and ordered new nipples and covers.
They are all fine except the front passanger. Due to a bur being left it stripped the thread, i stupidly let a friend retap it but he tapped it with the wrong one so i am now left with a nipple that is very loose and no metal to get tapped.
I think i have 3 options.
1, get it helicoiled but the company i went to said the wall at the narrowest point is 3 mm and the helicoil needs i think he said 1.5mm which in his eyes was a bit unsafe.
2, Get the hole welded up or a sleve welded in and get it retapped
3, buy a new caliper, but they come in pairs and are very hard to come buy.

Does anyone have a passenger caliper or even a drivers side and i can reverse the bits. Any advice welcome, off the top of my head i think my caliper model number is cp5200

Cheers George

Do Bell Hill or Douglas Valley not have a spare?

I might be able to help...I have a spare front caliper ...perfect order...for a 4.5 ...ie a 6-bolt version...

I had a front caliper bleed nipple issue last year...ended up buying two 2nd hand items.and a set of bells.

What type is yours?

I'd get it properly tig welded if possible.

I have a set of Calipers. They been off about 18 months and the brake fluid has gone a bit jellyish. Are they of any interest?
