Nothing. Just contacted Pro Bolt. Rear is different to the front. I'll just clean the ones I have up. After all 50% is hidden by the cover!

Clean until shiny with a rotary wire brush and then once you've bled the system make sure all excess brake fluid is wiped off and give them a coat of clear nail varnish...Works a treat and they'll stay shiny ;)

Strange Probolt have stopped listing the nipples for the front.

Anyway if you want to get some they are M7 (rear are M8)

EDIT: Adjusted to right way around

I'm admitting nothing :rofl2: :rofl2:

Seriously though, I use it because it dries quickly on bolts etc and does the job ;)

Bugger..I gave someone the wrong info last week on Farcebook..I said front and rears were the same...And they're not :rolleyes:

Yes I thought that at one time as well Steve.....and got caught out!

To be honest I never thought of using nail varnish.. Believe it or not I do use nail varnish for tying flies (the fishing variety before anyone jumps in and asks why Im tying up flies!!).   Trout are sharp toothed little buggers, so I use Sally Hansen 'hard as nails' to coat some of the things I tie...works really well.   If it can stand up to constant immersion in water and a trouts teeth its gotta be good to use on nipples....erm.... you know what I mean  :cheers:
