Front brake caliper nipples

[carpman]

Over the last few days i have been overhauling my brake calipers. I want to replace the nipples but i cant find them anywhere (David silvers, Wemoto, M and P,) i have even used google images and looked at thousands but cant find anything that looks like them. All the ones i have seen don't have the seal or recess into the caliper.
Has anyone got a part number that i could do a search on ?

I don't know if RVF ones are compatible or not - they don't have an o-ring. Anyone know the significance?

[gavins]

I may be incorrect but i believe the RVF nipples come with/should be used with a thread sealing compound, instead of using an o-ring, to seal the nipple and prevent air from getting in through the thread when bleeding.

I'm a bit confused with the calipers....(not the color of the calipers).

They look like rvf calipers, do not think though they are vfr ones....the bleed nip is definitely not an rvf one.

Maybe the calipers are from another model?????

Someone with vfr calipers can recognize them....

Pretty sure the front half is just a repsprayed NC30 caliper, note the lack of thread in the mounting holes. The bleed nipples are distinctively NC30.

The back half does look mismatched however.....what are the chances that someone has reassembled a half NC30/half NC35 caliper? hard to tell for sure from a photo, could just be the angle.

Not sure how they would match up and the NC35 caliper has a different size small piston.

[speedy231278]

Neither side is off of a 35, the shape is wrong. The body is angular in places around the piston housing, whereas the 30 calipers are rounded save for where the two meet.

Thanks guys I spoke with David silvers and nipples and o rings now ordered had a chat with them about o-rings and the recess on the nipples, they have literally just been repainted but original colour was a bronze / gold, these are what came with the bike and I assume they are they originals.

Yes, good point speedy, thought so too. I was mislead by the shape.

What are they nc30 ones? Cbr 400 is what comes to my mind right now.
