I need some input. I am switching to four wheel disk brakes on my 50 3100. I have been looking online for information about which master cylinder to use some web sites say I need one with a 1 1/8 bore and some say 1-inch. which is correct

Hy mustache man, a lot would depend on the type of caliper you are going to use, multi-piston calipers would require a larger volume. If in doubt go with the larger bore, hope that helps.

There was a previous post (which I can't seem to find) where one member discusses the math that compares the pressures created between a one inch bore and a larger one. Anyone remember that one?


It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
