0.75 integral master cylinder

0.625 Integral Master Cylinder

There's also the non integral type like this which will require seperate reservoirs to be purchased along with hoses to connect them so not as cheap.

You might want to do a search for which to use where. Various combinations front and rear. I know Stuart Taylor Motorsport use 2 x 0.75 but others use one of each.

What Brake Calipers / drums are you using front and rear??

am i right in thinking 0.625 m/c are easier to use? if so can i not use 2 of these?

If you use integral master cylinders you need to use 2 resevoir level switch, go for a remote resevoir setup.

O.75 " is too big ---- big diameter requires much harder push on the pedal.

0.625" or 0.7 dia are the norm with bias bar setups.
