Finally got the 11mm master cylinder bled with the help of another set of hands. Also used a braided hose.
Tested last night. You can pull the lever almost back to the bars at standstill if you try, just like a modern system.
On the road you need one finger to pull the bike up.
Now I need a fork brace!
Thanks Jim, if it wasn't for your advice I would have gone for 13 of 14mm piston diameter as per RGM advice.

Now, you too, have a great front stopper. I didn't figure this out by myself. I used the vast knowledge of Michael Morris of Vintage Brake. The man KNOWS brakes. I just passed it on. BTW, I always had a very poor rear drum brake. Sent it to Michael and got back an excellent rear stopper.
