Thanks everyone, unfortunately l went to bleed the brakes and one of the front caliper bleed nipples had snapped off in transit from minisport, I've tried masters hardware, repco and autobarn with no luck!

Try a real brake shop on Monday.

Bunnings are pretty effin' useless unless it fits a house, I went looking for some Stag jointing compound today and just got blank stares.

Very true, though I will give credit to masters they have a pretty good range of fixings, for automotive, mechanical works, 20x better than any "Sunday auto store"

Where do you find a Masters hardware out our way? I'm surrounded by Bunnings branches but would need a cut lunch to get to a Masters and back...

I found the Stag, RicerBarn carries it.

We get adds for Masters in Adelaide. Only problem is that the nearest store is 500km away at My Gambier.

Masters do mix it up a little bit more than Bunnings, we have one near us.

Lots of American Timber products for something different to the usual.

Any UNF bolts?

I honestly haven't checked...There's always UNC however if you like using galvanised coach bolts..

UNF is being forced to extinction in Australia by the big hardware chains.

The big coach bolts are often Whitworth by tradition. (notice a 13mm spanner fits when you would expect a ½" to be the right choice)

They do sell the UNC, not that they're useful for anything being non tensile...

It must be an issue with Minisport bleed nipples as I had the same issue with my calipers.. They are a bit smaller in diameter to the new ones I got from my local brake shop

Thanks mick for the pointer, Doc l head out to St Mary's that's our local masters ATM, there is one getting built at rouse hill and marsden park, as a carpenter l would stick with bunnings, a lot of the stock bunnings carry, masters can't ATM, bunnings have suppliers ie dulux, makita, zenith, l can keep naming brands by the gonads. bunnings have told there suppliers if they sell to masters we shall terminate your contract. Masters have proceeded with legal action to rectify this. I was told this by a masters employee.
