master cylinders - which one for rear?
got two master cylinders to apply in my Locost, the typical 0.750" and 0.625". some doubts: some people say the front one is .75, others
say that larger cylinder is for the rear.
someone can tell me the right choice?

I would think small one to the front as the law of hydraulics goes.Not as much movement to calliper piston but greater pressure

Do a search -- normally unless you are running 8" drums on the rear small to the front

In fact my rear drums are Ø200mm (almost 8" ) from old Toyota Corolla 1200 and front traditional Cortina callipers.

Then balance bar pedal box won't do much good, but as you already have one to make it work the the balance bar somewhere near the centre I
suspect you would be best to use 2 equal sized cylinders.
With small diameter drum brakes increasing the line pressure only works up to a point after which the mechanical stiffness of the drums and brakes
shoes limmits the braking torque the drum brake will produce.
