Mastiff/Baghira Rear caliper (Dont get me started!)

Okay I've had enough, these Grimecas are far too troublesome to bleed.
The previous owner has blanked the bleed nipple off and I have to bleed thru the banjo bolt, is this common? Given that, is there any other cheap rear caliper off another bike? I am tired and broken after a day of bleeding brakes!

you could take caliper to a decent engineering shop and have the bleed nipple reinstated probably,depends on why it was blanked off in the first place,good luck.
