I use a 3/4" bore master cylinder in my race Midget, with stock disc brakes
(Hawke carbon pads). Gives a good hard pedal and very acceptable pedal
pressures. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with a 3/4" bore size. I happened
to use a Datsun 510 M/C, but it was a lot of work to convert (but cost for a
new cylinder is about $90, so I never have to worry about rebuilds - just
get another one when required).
