A UK-based parts matcher that identifies brake-caliper repair components by registration number or exact measurements.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

BrakeMatch supports two identification paths: a UK registration lookup or manual selection of component type, thread diameter, pitch and length. Its initial catalogue covers bleed-nipple repair inserts, stainless M8 nipples and weather-resistant caps, including a £9.95 pair of M10×1-to-M6×1 repair inserts and a £6.95 five-pack of 32.5 mm nipples. The page recommends visual confirmation where multiple calipers were fitted and says garage and motor-factor accounts are still opening.
