Rear brake caliper

Post by delroyx » Wed Dec 04, 2019 4:41 pm

Help needed.

The bleed nipple on my near side rear caliper has stripped the thread.

I've sent it off to Godspeed who did a great job with a refurb of my fronts but they are saying they can't drill the caliper due to the awkward mounts.

Anyway, looking at a new caliper which is looking like £175 or so.

The part number on it seems to be 8E0 615 423K

Does anyone know if the k is just because it is black? Are there any alternatives?

Any help appreciated.

Had a phone call from Godspeed. They have fixed it. Should be on its way back to me for tomorrow. 🤞it's ok!
