Anyone know what thread size is on the pipe into the caliper? I need to put a bolt in to hold the caliper and don't want to cross thread or damage it.
or not sure if we went metric
maybe M10 x 1 ?

Can't be sure about the 190s. But the normal ones are metric, and M10x1 seems to ring a bell.
I tried an m10 and it doesn't seem to fit.... I shall find the one ceedy mentions and try that 
thanks
thanksWas it a standard M10 as they are not M10x1 Standard M10s have a coarser pitch.
Ah, I thought it referred to length or something, I'll sort out a proper one then
The standard pitch for an M10 thread is 1.5mm, but the rarer fine pitches are 1.25mm or 1.0mm.
If you struggle, it may be better to get a proper fitting, and blank it off. I used a short length of pipe, with a flare one end and folded / soldered the other.
