Still trying to source this bloody bolt for my caliper that the bleed nipple goes into.

I figured contacting the source, where calipers get refurbished. They will probably be able to supply me with one.

So in general, who refurbishes calipers for clio 16vs?

Cheers
Sam

These are a pair I refurbished myself :wink: :roll: :wink: ,Powder coating done locally (£15) new pistons from Questmead
www.questmead.co.uk Ask for Allan (£35)

New Allen bolts (nicked ~ errgh borrowed :wink: :wink: from work)

The sliding pins and piston seals bleed nipples etc are all available from Renault ~~ Caliper repair kit ~~ depends whether it is a BENDIX or LOCKHEED caliper ~ not cheap,off the top of my head about £35 plus vat a side.

But these are now 100% brand new ~~ everything replaced.
And before anyone says it ~~ yes I swilled the fluid ways out with parafinn and an ultrsonic cleaner :lol: :lol:
