Thanks for the info. I will go through ETKA and see what they mention there 
in more detail. The MC on my 200t is long (I think), but it has the round 
reservoir. I'm going to be fitting some 4-piston calipers up front and maybe 
V8 calipers at the back, so what wondering if there'd be too much travel in 
the pedal due to having to pump more fluid up front and if that was related 
to MC piston diameters and so on. Read something like that somewhere, but my 
knowledge of brake systems is dodgey. :)
