Help please. We converted my son's 59 Bugeye to front disc brakes a  
few years ago, but we have never been satisfied with the pedal feel.  
I learned later that the 1098 master cylinder had a 3/4" bore.  I  
know that many people live with the 7/8", but after considering a  
number of possibilities I think that I have decided to have my son's  
948 master cylinder (7/8" bore) resleeved to 1098 specs (3/4" bore).  
I wasn't sure that it could be done, but I checked with White Post  
Restorations today and they told me that it could. My questions are  
these:
Should the clutch side of the dual master cylinder be left alone or  
should it be sleeved to 3/4" also?
Since I am using disc brakes on the front now, I assume that the  
check valve is left out on reassembly for the brake side of the  
master cylinder, correct?
Thanks,
Lin Rose
