Recently the front brakes failed on my Jota - they came back when pumped.
Worn pads and the resulting drop in brake fluid level was the cause. The master cylinder has no baffle as on the original so the acute angle of the Jota bars means the fluid drops away from the master cylinder outlet as the level drops. Not a problem with new pads but worth keeping an eye on.
I have managed to fit the triangular baffle out of a square clutch master cylinder but really the better option (albeit less aesthetically pleasing) if you're upgrading would be a master cylinder with remote reservoir...or flat bars.
