Cheers Jim. That seems like a good alternative.
As the bleed nipples should be slackened every two years for bleeding, would that not destroy the seal between the threads and the alloy caliper body possibly resulting in future galvanic corrosion? If they were being removed the threads could he cleaned and more Hylomar applied, but how do you thik would the sealant stand up to just being slackened to bleed?

He's a businessman. not a diplomat. So I think he tends to go in hard, as that leaves more movement for negotiation.Donald has withdrawn the threat of tariffs, saying he has the bones of a deal over Iceland......oops Greenland |

Hi Pete.
We have very good reasons why we only allow ads from "established" members that we have learnt the hard way, so it's not a rule we can bend for you sadly. I would also say, trying to sell an Omega here is a hard sell - we know how I think your best bets would be the traditional methods - Autotrader, Ebay, Faceache etc. Good luck with the sale. |

After doing more digging, I think I will stick with original Brembo /Audi steel replacement bleed nipples. Put a tiny smear of hylomar blue on the threads, although now commonly used as a sealant, Rolls Royce originally invented it to prevent galvanic corrosion on aerospace components. Its specc'd to around 250c if memory serves, which if you've got that temperature in the top of the calipers, probably means you're boiling your brake fluid ![]() |

Hi,
Thank you for letting join. I see you need 250 posts to advertise a car for sale. I am never going to reach that as I am selling the omega estate I have. Can anyone advise where would be best to advertise? As it’s quite niche, I wanted to try a forum with existing owner as they may be more interested. Pete |
