Leaking Brembo Advice
 
Hi all,
Bought a set of gold brembos for my classic & all the bleed nipples were either stripped or snapped. Sent them to a local engineer who sorted this out. However the NSF inner nipple leaks fluid, spoke to the engineer who suggested I cut the pointed end off the nipple & drop a ball bearing in the hole. I did this but it still leaks.
Does anyone know how to fix this or is my caliper now scrap?

Send it off to Godspeed matey.

Phoned Godspeed today they say because Iv now stripped the threads again trying to get it to seal the caliper is now scrap & even if it wasn't stripped it wouldn't seal as it's not straight enough to seat. Iv phoned Scoobyspares to try & buy a caliper but they only sell pairs. If anyone knows where I can get a NS gold Brembo or how to fix mine please let me know. Iv spent a lot buying these & fixing them & now it seems they are useless.

think there was a new one in the forsale section a day or 2 ago , was a single front caliper but not sure what side it was for

Gutted mate, keep an eye out in the for sale section, i'm sure something will turn up. Maybe you could buy a pair then sell on the one you don't need?
