Raceleda Brake Nipples for M16 4 Pot Callipers
Krismc - 3/7/11 at 06:10 AM

Can i get them off the shelf anywhere, or can some one tell me what thread etc they are id rather change them too a size where i can put a metric spanner on while im at it. 8 nipples at the front.

Motor world dont do them and i popped into ATS on off chance and they dont have any.

When you do a google search, Rally design appear to have them but i cant find them on there site.

Because im sure they are not metric on the raceleda callipers, the brass section is 11mm spanner and the bleed nipple is slightly bigger than a 6mm (6.25mm according to my callipers) but im not sure on the thread.

I see now. Did a bit of hunting on google.

Can you ask mnr?

Krismc - 3/7/11 at 07:07 AM

I just want to order them or pick them up asap. Thought someone might have a easy option.

Krismc - 3/7/11 at 07:12 AM

Or a exploded diagram with the sizes on??

Nope. And they dont know the size either

Well I am stumped then. I would let you have mine but the new owner of the car might not appreciate it.

Good luck

Just buy a 1/4" AF spanner! if the hexagon is in imperial then it's likely that the threads are something like 1/4"UNF and there is no metric thread that will fit

The last person didnt use the correct spanner and now they are foo bar-ed, hence why i need new ones

The Raceleda calipers are manufactured by Outlaw in the states, but branded as Raceleda.

Supplied by Outlaw to various other companies also

The inlet & bleed screw threads are 1/8 NPT

Cheers mate, mine also have 1/8npt written on them but i thought that was the flexi size.

Still cant find any in uk

The Outlaw caliper looks identical to the Wilwood Billet Dynalite

which use a 1/4" fitting so I would think the bleed nipples would fit too. They're only a few ££ from RallyDesign, and they're next day delivery.
