    Hi all!
    I was searching with no luck, for the master cylinder bore size of an m38a1.
    I want to modify those oem pedals with hanging pedals and power brakes
    and must calculate the pressure of the excisting setup with the one i intent to install.
    But i can't find the MC bore size, so any help would be great.

    the pedals you are adding have less mechanical advantage than the stock ones??

    The mechanical advantage of the new pedals is more than stock.
    The new M/C is also 1" bore, but because i will convert to disc brakes in the front i want to know if the new M/C can be used to work also with disc brakes,
    and the reason is that discs need more power than drums to stop.

    Use organic pads on the disc brakes, not semi-metallic ones and you'll be fine.
