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 keeps mixin*up Iceland with Greenland. Maybe Iceland is next on his shopping list. Then Ireland and Britain to complete coverage of the passage

Donald has withdrawn the threat of tariffs, saying he has the bones of a deal over Iceland......oops Greenland  ;D

Trump does tend to ramble on, presumably due to his age. Is there a creeping senility starting to form?
He's a businessman. not a diplomat.  So I think he tends to go in hard, as that leaves more movement for negotiation.

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 much little they are worth, and what the likely bad points are.  Additionally, virtually everybody looking here either already has one, or has had one (or several, for many of us) in the past.


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  :D

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
