i've snapped a bleed nipple in my mrs ap racing front caliper, sent the caliper off to
http://www.brake-caliper-painting.com/
and they cant sort it, apart from the dealers does anyone know where i can get a f/n/s or even a pair of front calipers, getting desperate now as her car is off the road, i would even consider putting some brembos on there, cheers

Age old steel versus ally effect. Do you have a local engineer with a spark eroder?

I had a stud taken out of an ancient bike cylinder head this way

Yeah ap apparently can't sell the seat sport calipers as they're contract bound with seat, I'll bang some brembos on there for her

Have you tried speaking to biggred? They seem to get a bit of work like this and I've never heard a bad story!

I'll give them a shout but I'll probably ditch the ap calipers in favour of brembos as I've found a full set up locally meaning I can get the car back on the road for her sooner

What you going to do with the AP once you've changed them for brembos?

All sorted now, the company above managed to get it out, drill retap and helicoil it
