I fitted my wilwood midilite calipers today and went on to bleed them with a friend. The second bleed nipple i came to undo snapped the brass fitting in half that it screws into. I got the other half out o.k with a stud extractor but what is the part i need to get to replace it? The nut size of the brass fitting is 7/16 and the bleed nipple nut size is 1/4 if this helps. Cheers, Jack
 
Seems to be common. The Superlights I bought last year have 2 helicoiled nipples and one just welded over. lol.

Yet to try mine on the car but as long as I have top nipples Im sure they will bleed ok.

Have you tried a normal nipple into the caliper or does it not have a concaved hole valve at the bottom?

Hope that made sense. lol
 
Yes they are concave with a small hole in. I've messages freaky parts to see if he can help me out. Thanks i'll have a look on the website but i'm not entirely sure what sizes i'm looking for
 
Thanks clockwork I've found what i need on that site

Just to add there are 10 options of bleed nipples any idea which one I need?

You need to know the part number of your calipers. I don't think it's stamped on the calipers themselves so if you don't have the box you need to ask who you got them from I guess.
