Thanks for the replies guys! Here's what I did. Reverse drill with increasing diameter bits being careful not to drill deeper than 7mm. It did back out with the biggest bit - when I had about 0.5 mm wall left. I found a 6mm x 1.0 pitch out of the bin at the auto parts store for $0.81. It works great but is long. I suppose I will replace it later with a real replacement. Bottom line is the seats may be universal. PS - I didn't want to risk an ez-out as I thoughtit would expand the metal into the treads and make it more difficult. I used a reverse drill bit set from harbor freight - purchase price $7.99. Cheers

Hey guys I broke the bleed nipple off flush trying to renew my fluid. I'm holding off reverse drilling the old nipple out until I have a replacement bleeder and I can't wait for a replacement AJP/GasGas nipple to arrive in the mail. I'm in the USA. Question - does anyone know if I find an off brand nipple with the same width and thread pitch - will the seat bevel match up? Have any of you tried this before? Thanks

I did not know that, and in fact thought that the presence of a center spacer would protect the bearing from side-loading.

Helmets look good and the price is right. Too bad there seems to not be a USA distributor at the moment.
