Your right I had the size backwards. I was referring to both. I switched
master cylinders when I first changed to disk brakes over 20 years ago on #1.
I am currently switching #2 to the MGB brakes and have not yet decided how to
go with the master cylinder. I need to make the decision now. Switching to
the dual line cylinder is not something that I would want to do after the car
is finished. My main concern is whether or not the 3/4 cylinder will work the
MGB calipers o.k. If I thought it would, I would stick with it just to save
making and routing all of the new tubing.

Drum brake cars have the 7/8 bore stock, and disc brake cars have 3/4 bore
MC's. Are you referring to converting to discs or converting existing discs
to "big discs"?
Maybe I should skip a step and go directly to big discs... in a year or so
I'll want them anyway.
