Broke a bleed nipple + fitting braided lines help

[Shings]

Right...

Broke a bleed nipple off my on my PH1 172 on the front caliper... anyone know where to get replacements and know what they are without having to take the broke one in?

Second... fitting the rear braided lines- am I right in thinking I need someone with a brake line making tool and appropriate fittings as the flexi pipe is a crimp??

trying to get what's left of the nipple out of the caliper may be real nause. should be able to get bleed screws over the counter but ideally want to be taking the one from the other side to be sure you're getting an identical screw - needs to be the right threaded length as well as thread

I think you are looking at the wrong pipe. You need to change the two pipes that are next to each other where the hoses leave the suspension arm and attach to the body. The crimped one is not the one to change as it doesn't flex. Though I did wonder why it is like that myself.

It is not the pipe over the rear caliper.

Cheers for your help guys...

I'm confused by the pipe as its the only one I could see that was a flexi pipe and defo has a crimp connection on it...

stick your head under the car just in front of the passenger side rear wheel, the rear lines are just in front of the axle

Is it the one in thin air which is CLEARLY crimped? ( I am assuming if not this is for ABS return?)
Is it the one to the right of the coil???

Cheers

No that's not it. Follow that pipe in the picture back to where it leaves the suspension arm (do it on the passenger side). Where the pipe leaves the arm there is another flexible hose and the drivers side one is there as well. These are the ones to replace with the braided lines.

Here's a picture:
