Hi Max, my brake calliper came from Gemini & works very well
although quite expensive. I tried cheap Chinese master cylinder
from eBay & Amazon both were crap, I managed to get a
refurbished brembo cylinder from local bike shop hope this
helps.
Cheers Nick

Hi Max,
Yes the Gemini set-up works well. There are a few different
configurations described in the back of the Guide to Brakes -

I use the gemini disk with a 2 piston calliper from a chinese
motorbike (pretty sure they are the same ones as amazon) cheap
amazon master cylinder and standard kart pedal, all I had to
make was my own bracket to fit the calliper, which was fairly
easy. I can dig out some amazon links if you'd like.

I use the rear calliper from a Vespa GTX300 scooter. Very
effective and easy to fit. Plenty on eBay for about £30.
