Correct, but I should have also mentioned that he also has a 7/8" brake master
cylinder, so he didn't simply switch them. To make thinks difficult, the brake
cylinder (which was his rebuilt original) was clearly marked as a 7/8" size,
but the cheap reproduction had no such markings, part numbers or other
identifications on it.

Follow up to the Heavy clutch question.
We removed the clutch master cylinder & discovered that it was a 7/8" bore
which is two sizes larger than a stock BJ7 clutch master cylinder. We
installed the stock cylinder & as you would expect, the pressure required to
operate the clutch was dramatically reduced.
Thanks,
