Thanks Neil; its a Disiciacci (sp?) m/c so Brembo might not be keen on giving advice. Just been on the Redracingparts site to see if they sell the m/c as a separate component but no luck, you have to send it off for repair/replacement.

"That'll teach me" for the thousandth time. Mind you if it's the thousandth time 'it' evidently hasn't taught me...

That's the M/Cyl I have. The CNC machined one.

Call Pirtek see what they say.

Glad to see a full range of opinions as usual...
Mr_S, called Pirtek and though they only do hoses and fittings they passed me on to a company called West of Scotland Engineering who should be able to repair this, but don't usually do motorcycle work, so it depends if I catch them in a good mood!
Anyway, thanks for all the replies.

The pressure can be up to 250 bar which is around 3500 psi i think.

thats enough to send a fragment of metal of around 8.5grains in wieght at a speed of over 850 feet per second giving you velocity of around 12-13ftlb=== thats the equivilant off an air rifle pellet at point blank range!!!!!

useless piece of information i know-but thats the sort of pressure your'e dealing with!!!

be best to get a new one i think!!!!!!
