Bought these off the forums here so no warranty but i can seem to find the replacement part (lever body) anywhere, magura aren't replying to emails either......bugger!
Anyone on here in the trade or had a similar issue be able to help me please?
thanks in advance

Magura don't do 'spares' like that - you have to buy a complete lever assembly 🙁
you could try the forums on their main website they seem to be reasonably well responded to.
The fella who backs up Magura in the uk was very helpful but only worked part time. That was as of six months ago, I've had no dealings since then. I think he worked alongside one of the bigger distributors...Moore Large????...might have got that wrong.
Back up is a problem in the trade....there are some good standouts among the crowd..........but generally it is not getting better.
You need to drop this chap an email
magura@racemechanic.co.uk
Or give him a call on
07773 453681
He'll email you a form that you need to fill in and send to him along with the brake and he'll fix it for you. Buying spares for Maggies is a nightmare, even more so when they're MT8's....
Thanks all, i've sent an email so fingers crossed.
Just a follow up...
Mike from Magura called me, really nice helpful chap but the bad news is they don't produce the lever anymore but can provide an aluminium version for £95+VAT......new brakes for me then! 🙁
Thanks again for all the help and advice.
