    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

brake caliper thread size

hi all,i have drilled out a bleed nipple on the rear caliper leaving just the thinnest bit of thread. i need to tap it out but dont know the tap size. i know i will be able to take a nipple to get matched but because of the awkward thread size,that could be a tedious task. someone out there will have encountered this dilemma. as allways your help is invaluable. :?
 
i can se where you are comeing from Eliseo, thing is,i used a 6mm wich is too small as i did not want to damage the threads. the pitch size matters as well as it is odd!. one of my pals has tapped his and is going to dig his tap out to advise me. thanks for your reply :?
 
I'm almost positive it's an 7x1.0mm pitch, but better wait if anyone else knows before you run a cutter into it.
 
6 MM is the correct drill size for an 7x1.0mm pitch tread.

Good luck.
 
thanks lads, gonna add that one to my collection. great to get it sorted as calipers are hard to find in the uk and when they are on ebay they make silly money cos they are $120 plus tax at breakers. :D

Jethro Jethro Jethro!!! you dont know your born out in the U S OF A. when we voted George W's best pal into power,we did not realize he was a dyslexic modern day robin hood! Mr Blairwitch gets confused and robs the poor to give to the rich!. if we in good old Britian breathe near a speed camera it is a minimum $120 fine and 3 marks on your license, 12 marks and bye bye Suzuki for 6months minimum. mind you, with gas at approx $1.80 per litre,i cant afford to do a lot of miles or my understanding,gorgeous,sexy wife will have one of her anti GS turns and insert a Harris 4-1 where the sun dont shine.......sideways. on a serious note tho, some guys take the p***. one breaker can do me a set of slotted discs for $100 wheras another wants $160 for 2Xfront (plain that are drilled,yuk) and $60 for a rear plain one.

cheers
Dave :lol:
