Re: what id pipe do i need to fit the front claiper bleed nipple?
Don't know the figures, but I tend to go for something under size then warm the end with a lighter. Push it over the bleed valve while it's still semi melted and let it cool in situ. You normaly find it moulds itself to the right shape for a good airtight fit then.
