I've seen one thread on here but it's not definitive enough for me.

I want to switch to stainless ones hoping to prevent corrosion lockup down the road. Once of mine was a bit stiff. I lost a set of calipers on another vehicle due to this but that one operates in the snow, ice and salt. The Jag does not.

 

Along the lines of M8x1.5 etc?

I dimly recall some such in one of the other forums on here but they may be somewhat different size Brembos (jag used various sizes over the years on the various car models).

Maybe just measure them?

 

Yes of course I can measure them but ... at the moment the calipers are hanging via wire from the upper control arms and if I pull one out to take the time to measure it I'll have big mess of brake fluid streaming out of the caliper.

So I was hoping to find a reference I could depend upon. There are zero vendors offering aftermarket bleed screws identified as working on a 2003-2005 STR except the OEM parts and those when you can find them mention nothing about specifics.

THis is about all on here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...d-size-165922/

Not exactly confidence inspiring in it's authority or details.

 

Maybe this thread has some info - either the site or PM NBCat who seems knowledgeable.

There are no links to published information all the other posts on here are clear as mud so it looks like I'll have to find a way to plug the caliper while the bleed screw is out.

 

I've just got my spare pair of bleed nipples (screws) out & the box & bumf doesn't carry any info other than part number.

 

What model are they from? Do you have thread pitch/gauge? I have a 2005 STR with brembo calipers. It's unclear if they're the same or different than the ones on the more typical CI calipers.

It's not about money I just want some SS ones hoping that prevents corrosion and seizure though the aluminum threads in the caliper can still corrode and seize.

 

The part No. is SEE500070. Fits Sport & maybe Vogue. Will also be a match for some Ducatis.

It takes an 11mm spanner & they fit both front & rear Brembo calipers. I don't have pitch/gauge, sorry - but I can get it measured tomorrow & post it here for you. My STR is a late 2002 car.

I know it's not about money but why pay more ! It was also that in the UK last year, Jaguar had delisted it as an item. I spent a looong time with Land Rover indy parts man cross-referencing items to get that part No.

 

Regarding seized nipples. When mine all seized in I couldn't find s/s ones anywhere. The only thing that removed the seized ones in the end was an induction gun.

​​​​​​​If you find some s/s ones, please post where here will you. Many thanks.

 

Will do and thanks! Please do post the over all length thread length and then thread diameter size and pitch. I suspect 10mm x 1.0 but it's hard to measure them in place!

I just did this on my truck and there was no reference on that either but I eventually figured it out from the replacement calipers. I couldn't bleed the old working calipers because the nipples were frozen and my mechanic wouldn't touch my nipples!

In that case new calipers were only $26 and came beautifully powder coated so I think that won't happen again plus I added caps which were missing and the new nipples were of the one man check valve bleeding style.

 

oh look what I found.

Are you cool with titanium ones just like the Lockheed SR 71!

You've solved the riddle my good man. Having that Range Rover part number is key. I do hope that's correct?

8mm x 1.25 then .

​​​​​​​I'll send you my bank details 😁

 

​​​​​​There are two other Nos. on the box:

AT2SA which if put into google, takes you to the Brembo website.

​​​​​​​1111441 Not sure what this relates to

 

Well that didn't pan out. Something is either different with your calipers of that Range rover number is for a different caliper. Mine are 10mm but I don't know anymore than that.

I'll have to drain all the brake fluid to change these as I just tried measuring the diameter of it and even even with a bleed bottle on it it makes a hell of a mess which is what I was trying to avoid. More silver touch up of the caliper paint now .. ARGH. Those cute looped on caps make it very difficult to rotate the nipple enough to get a measurement.

Perhaps I should follow the Brembo lead and see what other sizes they have.

Anyway mine is not 8mm.

What's confusing also is that this Titan company shows the same Brembo 8mm bleed screw as equivalent to their 8mm & 10mm part. Nice ...

 

Or yours are ? I'll post the measurements here tomorrow. My eye says the thread is 8 mm, but I'll know for sure tomorrow. It was an 11 mm spanner I used to change them

 

Hi
I bet these will do the job and not a bad price
cheers

If that's the spec ...

 

This guy seems confident........

@Staatsof

​​​​​​​The LR part No. SEE500070 matches the Jaguar part No. C2C8362 & is for the 10x1 mm nipple (neither list any other nipple for your Brembos). So it appears I have 10 mm parts on my car. Joedotcom & Norri were correct.

They were too busy to get the measurements I asked for, but the nipple is a total 15 mm from under the tightening nut to the nipple end.

 

Yes he does. I think I'll ask him specifically about the Jag. Not all Brembos use this size though ...

I know mine are 10mm it's the pitch and length that's unknown on mine. This person provides all of that which is refreshing!

Thanks !
