i use the tilton 74 series master cylinders for both. they are cheap and
readily available in 1/16" increments. i have the full range! i use 3/4"
for the clutch because i like it short and sharp but 5/8 would feel normal.
the pushrod needs to be cut short and threaded a bit more but i have two
prepared that i just swap over if i'm fitting a new one. i believe i use
15/16" brake master for my hoppers stoppers and rear dale a discs and 7/8 or
13/16 for the stock brakes with no booster.
