Whilst out riding on the weekend I noticed that there's far to much flex in an old school lever,been using the usual DC tech 3 and 4 mainly so my question is what lever would you recommend that will give me far less flex? maybe something that has a cast fixing via allen key instead of the loop and nut /bolt fixing,what do you use? info greatfully received

tech 5's my friend. All of the above, cast, allen fixing etc. Been using them for a few years now, v happy with them and certainly never noticed any flexing etc Plus the longer lever means less input force required to achieve a similar applied braking power.

Old school, or any lever
Tech 77's are by far the superior old school lever, and the Odyssey mono mid lever now. I use a Shimano DX lever on my new TA, solely for the adjustments on it, but it is also a great lever

Im running Tech 77s on 3 of mine now and being a Big man I take some stopping on a down hill section as Retro Dan will testifie at Chester a few years back.
Never had issues with them.

new school , odyssey mono levers are pretty good , look mid school , although some may cringe bunging em on old/mid bikes but they do work well , no flex and come in four different lever types ,twin cable for gyro's M2 , medium lever are nice , the trigger ones are the best
n the short ones are short

Oddy Mono is the only lever I use to ride. End of
Well i'm about the 5th person to recommend them so fook that oldschool nonsense and get over it if you want to actually stop. Pair them with a set of sticky pads and you'll go over the handlebars if you pull up too hard
Here's one of my Badlanders rocking a set of them
And an '88 Sport with a set
