quick Anglia question

What is the bore and stroke of an Anglia clutch slave cylinder. I'm presuming theres only one size but not 100% sure.

If it is the original circlip type 0.625"" bore then it can be swapped for a Lotus Elan one which has a bigger bore 0.875" which gves lighter pedal but gears can be difficult to engage when stationary.

A 3/4" bore will also exist MK1 Cortina ?

The clutch slave cylinder change completely between Mk1 and Mk2 Cortinas.

The Anglia/Mk1 Cortina/Lotus Elan clutch fork assembly and release bearing was a pain in the ass.

Its for my cousins angle box sprint/hill climb motor. Trouble is its 150 miles away so I'm going on sizes given to me. Says the slave ( remember its the slave we are talking about) is 22mm dia ( metric guestimate or measured as close as possible with what tools he has)
He has a 0.750 master cyl but is short on travel due to a modified pedal box. I've done all the fluid volume transfer calcs BUT fear that without very accurate measurements they might not be accurate enough.

The standard Anglia slave will let the clutch clear but the pedal will be very heavy.

Problem is B.T that its not disengaging. Given the sizes and travel at the master cyl AND the diameter/ possible travel on the slave he either needs to modify the pedal box OR by my calcs go to a .825 master and will need legs like a russian weightlifter.
