Post subject:  Broken brake bleed nipples

I've started to rebuild my metro callipers that have been stored for some time on passenger side one of the bleed nipples has broken off on the otherside all 3 have.i was doing a job for a bloke who used to own a toolmaking business and has an awsome workshop at home so i got him to carefully(tried easyouts first) drill them out for me but when he did it ballsed up the threads(can't complain he was trying to do me a favour) any ideas on what i can do or would be the best kind of person to fix it. :|

There was a kit for fixing stripped bleeders, it was a tapered plug that you screw into the stripped thread on the caliper and the tapered plug has a small bleeder in it. Spare parts places used to sell them.

I found one on the net...
