Brake Bleed Nipples

Recently had my brake calipers refurbed, and I refitted them to the car Sunday.

After bleeding the brakes and going round the block, I noticed that all 4 of the calipers have fluid seeping out around the brake bleed nipple and it has actually taken the paint off the one caliper 😡

The bleed nipples have been swapped for new ones and I would assume it is these that are causing the issue.

Can anyone recommend any decent brake bleed nipples for both front and rear callipers?

Thanks

I had a lot of trouble with the HEL stainless ones that you can buy :-(

Didn‘t matter how tight I did them I couldn‘t stop it. When I checked them against the oem ones the taper was slightly different. I think between the taper and the material together just wasn‘t compatible, went back to the oem and it sorted the problem straight away

Hope you get it sorted
