Need to change the brake fluid soon. Does anyone know where I can get hold of stainless brake bleed screws (nipples)?
This is for a '91 316i, and from memory they take a 7mm spanner, but it's the thread size that's important...

i got some from ebay a while back, plenty on there,

also try any local motorfactors & motorbike shops.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Thanks guys. Does anyone happen to know the thread size. Save me taking one out before I get the replacements



Steve-k, your first statement in white was a favourite saying of the sales manager at a company I worked for in the 90's. Still true today winkeye
