Ron -
The easiest solution is to get a tandem master cylinder. Wilwood makes one
which will fit in the standard hole. I don't recall the standard bore, but I
think wilwood makes them in a couple different bore sizes. This one is a 1"
bore:

With the tandem cylinder, the plumbing is simpler, and there is no
modification necessary to the pedal box.
