No problems mate, I'm just sorry that me jumping in there perhaps cost you more than you needed to pay
I was after the matching master cylinders for the 888 and I was going to put the clutch slave on my ST, cos the ST clutch master was too puny for the STM slave I had fitted so I was going back to the updated OEM Ducati slave. So, that particular auction would've given me everything I needed to sort two bikes out.
Never mind...I got a new clutch slave cylinder and pushrod off eBay the next day so the ST is sorted, that means that I will have a bike to ride through the winter and the 888 has already been put into hibernation.
I know that the 996/998 master cylinders will do the job, but they seem to be quite difficult to get secondhand. I think I will save my pennies over the winter and get the bling Brembo radial pump as Rob and Nat suggest. Red Racing parts seem to be the cheapest so I'll get the brake side done first...I'll get the clutch done to match at some point, but I'm not too fussed about having non-matching levers for a short while..
I think Mrs Jools summed it up 'cos she said that with the ST I seemed to have a never ending wishlist of bits I wanted. She thought that once I got the 888 I would have everything I'd wished for, but she said the other day that she just realised that instead of having my wishes fulfilled I'd now just got two never ending wishlists to try and feed...I think she might be right
