AP racing distributors, or SEAT.

The hard bit will be getting the broken bit of the bleed nipple out.. dealer would supply them or you will get them in motor factors if you know enough about threads etc. Make sure you put back in with special rubber grease (ordinary grease reacts with brake fluid) and then spray down into opening and over the top with Waxoyl or Dinotrol. Then replace the rubber dust cap. Finally bleed brakes once every 2 years and so open them to stop them siezing.. plus use 6 point socket and a balanced "T" bar approach to "cracking them"
I've the same problem, one snapped off.
Can't get the bleed nipple from seat, so will have to be at the motor factors.
Anyone know the size, so I don't need to remove another one?
Hi i had trouble with a bleed screw snapping while bleeding. I also had trobble locating a replacement one as Seat would only sell me the full caliper for a daft price. Bleed screws are a weird size and think you would be hard pushed to find the right one at a motor factors.
I managed to get them from a ap supplier, Questmead ltd. Drop Steve a eMail hes the most helpful guy in the world [email protected].
From what i can gather these calipers are based on the ap CP5200 series but have diffrent clips and pipes.

Hi jernjackson sorry to bring up an old thread, but regarding the AP caliper retaining pins do you think Steve from Questmead ltd would be able to source these??
Yer was a while a ago when i got my parts, but im sure he will still be happy to help, the part number for the pins is CP6607-3. If you want to save the slaver theres some on ebay, there're for a mgtf but their AP 4 pots use the same pins-
