hi guys well i hope someone can help me.
i have recently changed my brake lines, usual story, bleed .. hmm no fluid coming out the nipple,
so i pulled out the nipple to find it was blocked solid, no worries i have a few spare, so bled one side,
then moved to the other side went to unscrew that nipple and what do you know it sheared off flush to the caliper, ok down to halfords for a screw extractor set,
3 broken extractors and 4 drill bits later, i have decided its stuck in there and will be never any chance of it coming out.

so now my question is.
what calipers will actually fit on a 89 h1 fork (im having difficulties finding any specifically for the h1)
the h2 look exactly the same, and same with a few of the later ones as well,
but when i look up the part numbers they are a number out. so i don't know if its because they are different or they just change the number to determine the year...

any help is greatly appriciated

just take it to a engineering place to get it drilled and tapped. Worked for me.

Just leave the broken one where it is and fit a banjo bolt that comes with a built in bleed nipple. Earls do them as do other places.

Dunno your size sorry, usually M10x1 but can be x1.25 pitch depending on the bike. Hopefully someone with same caliper can tell you to save taking it off or do you know where there's an online 'fiche, they sometimes say.
