Hi Pete,
Thanks for the information, like Rick say it is an old post, I think that hard disk failure from the last week has re-shuffle the posts.
At that time I did mail to McCleod and phone them but they didn’t react needier they did help me.
So I never will promote their products, I understand that I am far away from the USA but that is not the reason to treat me like they did.
I still have the T/O bearing but I don’t use it anymore.
I have changed for a normal hydraulic setup.
I did a lot of research regarding the pedal forces and strokes, you can see at my web page and there you can download an “Excel Spread Sheet” where you can calculate your setup.

Michael,
Here is a picture that I did download at that time, I have marked to show you the components.
A banjo fitting is just a old type of fitting used by brake, fuel and clutch systems.
It uses always the vulnerable cooper rings that if you force it to much it will leak.
McCleod use a more modern Stat-O-Seal.
The banjo systems use two components:
The banjo fitting and the banjo bolt.
In our case the banjo bolt has a very small torx head that is a pain to remove or fixing.
