I've got a Magura MT8 that was very nice until I broke the brass(?) pin that links the lever blade to the piston.

Any options other than buying a hideously expensive replacement carbonfibre lever blade kit?

MT8? Unlucky. What a surprise - it broke!

Burn with fire. Replace with something that works - XTR, Hope...ANYTHING.

Also - your MT8 might have been recalled - that might be a good option if you haven't exchanged it yet.

Can I do the recall without being the original purchaser?

Was on my polo bike, thought it needed bleeding during a game, so I pumped, then found myself rolling downhill towards a fence... that was a while ago, replaced it with some spare Shimano LX then with an Echo TR trials brake (see posts passim)

Dunno. Ask magura or your LBS
