Reading through the instructions that Brembo supplied with the RCS19, and see they supply two different torque specs for banjo/MC. 17-19 ft/lbs EXCEPT for master cylinders with "non-oxidized die-cast master cylinder bodies" in which torque is 12.5-14.75 ft/lbs
I'm not sure, but the RCS is definitely a cast piece. I've always been weary of over-torquing banjo bolts, so if using a torque wrench I'd set it to 14lb-ft. If it's not leaking then call it good.
I would call US Brembo distributor. My 19x18 was tq at 19ft lbs. I know cause I added new lines and caught a slight leak at the copper washer. Tq it down a couple more lbs to 19 and it was all good. I have a RCS19 right now and they share a lot of the same parts but I am not sure about the body.
those washers can be so weird at times. I have had some that I had to torque the living piss out of and others that dont leak with a little more than hand tight.
