Default 2003 PH2 V40 Front Calipers

Can anyone sell me a pair of good front calipers as above with working bleed nipples. I need to change my front brake pipes and although the calipers are fine the bleed nipples are completely seized.

Thanks

Have you tried spraying WD40 or some other penetrating lubricant and leave it overnight? If you still neeed the calipers, I have a couple of spare ones

Hi Gatos

I've tried WD40 and freezer and all sorts. They're absolutely solid. Please PM me a price.

Is £10 each plus postage reasonable? Can use myHermes for £5.10 (delivered to your door) or Collect+ £5.29 delivered to your local collection store. See here: http://www.collectplus.co.uk/orders/...from_postcode= if there is one local to you

Hi Gatos

That sounds extremely reasonable to me. How would you like to be paid? I don't have PayPal due to a horror story that happened to a colleague, but have cheque, postal order, stamps whatever.

Dear Gatos

I've tried to reply to you by PM but I don't seem to be able to PM you. I've done 47 posts and I thought this was enough to be able to send PMs. Basically I want to accept your offer but I don't see how I can send my details without being able to PM you. Do you have a private email address that I could use to send you my details? If so please PM me with it.
