Hmmm.. This is very interesting..
I bought mine Volvo 1800S with wrong rear wheel cylinders in the rear - it
had 1" instead of 7/8". The difference was so big, that the car was only
braking with rear wheels.. It did take me dome time to figure out what's
going on.
So, I thought, that size _does_ matter.. :-)

Tadek -
For the BN2 7/8" is original but some swear that the 1" used on BN1s
gives a better brake distribution given that the BN2s rear brakes are
actually bigger than the front brakes..
