MG Midget and Sprite Technical - master cylinder

Can anyone tell me the bore size of standard brake master cylinder and clutch master cylinder as im looking to build my own pedal box

many thanks

Assuming that you have disc brakes then on a later car its usually 3/4 bore for both whereas for a drrum braked frogeye with tandem cylinder its 7/8.
However I am led to believe that one supplier actually quotes 0.70 for the clutch master cylinder on a 1275 which is what I use. I use Willwood cylinders on a Sebring pedal box with 1275 and T9.

Yes it has a 9" disc up grade on the front std drums on back so the 3/4 would be something like 0.625 then ??

3/4 inch = 0.75 inch
5/8 inch = 0.625 inch
If you use a 0.625 inch master cylinder on the clutch hydraulics with a stock slave cylinder then you will have hardly any pedal movement.
