   I'm not a hydraulic expert myself but I think it's the other way around. 
Smaller diameter wheel cylinders give more pressure for the same pedal
travel.  Let me know what replies you get.  I very well could be wrong and I
want to know.

Perhaps you might recall a few months back I asked for the collective wisdom

Excuse my ignorance of hydraulic science, but I am told that by increasing
the
front cylinders from 7/8 inch to 1 inch it will improve the brake performance
considerably. The brakes are not boosted and the car is fitted with a
standard
AH100 brake master cylinder.
