I like it....was wondering about one of my rusty nipples

Any sealant / seal required on the outside insert or are they made for a slight interference thread fit?

Nice work!

Possibly old brake fluid could cause this kind of corrosion. Also, no anti-seize on the bleed screw threads could allow water ingress from the outside.

Where did you get the Porsche decal? Looks great!

Great job. When you were drilling and tapping the calipers for the inserts how did you stop the aluminum shavings from dropping inside the caliper? Or did you just use compressed air when you were finished to blow out any residue?

Hello alynch

I was not to worried about shavings as everything was washed and blown through with compressed air as you mentioned.

Hello jaykay
I used very strong thread lock, right the way down the thread. No leaks been done 5 years.
