m8x1.25 26.5mm stainless nipples. Best supplier?

[V1nce Fox]

Looking to upgrade these on our F2 CBR600 and the old ones are 26.5mm length.

Can only find 32mm long ones on ebay, etc or non-stainless, with the exception of one seller who is currently away.

Is there a one stop perfect supplier that I can specify these dimensions with that others know of?

Any help gratefully received.

Just buy the 32mm ones and cut them to length with a hacksaw...




On a serious note though, any particular reason you want stainless and any particular reason the longer ones won't do the same job?

That's just zinc passivated steel; corrosion resistant but will still rust eventually.

I’m making an assumption (yeah, i know) that the longer ones won’t seat the same and create a seal.

It is the tip that creates the seal as it presses against the seat inside the caliper, the length is immaterial.

I just got some a few days before Xmas from my local bike shop along with a banjo bolt , crush washers and brake fluid.

Only paid for the fluid, he gave me the rest of the items.

Next time around and you need some work doing, he may help you out if you've paid a few quid and created a rapport with him, worth a try anyway.

OEM? Can’t be that expensive
