the smaller the bore the more pressure, less volume you have, big bore less pressure, more volume. pedal should stay the same, shouldn't have to press as hard.

I like a 1" bore master cylinder on cars over 2,500 pounds, 7/8 or 3/4 on lighter cars with 4 wheel discs. On light cars, the small cyliner bore and 4 wheel discs seem to give a more controlled stop. Nothing scientific to back this up, just what works for me.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
