It has been 2 years since my MGB & I parted company. But, if my failing
memory serves me right, I used the larger GT rear cylinders on my '66
roadster BECAUSE I raced it. The theory was, the master puts out x-volume
of brake fluid. A larger wheel cylinder is moved less given that volume.
As I said, I'm no longer certain of that. But, in the years I raced the B,
I never had problems with over-braking at the rear - neither on the track or
on the street. Only time I remember locking up was in Turn 1 at The Glen.
Then all 4 locked up. Generally, I could out-brake almost all of the cars
in my race group with that setup & Hawk pads on the front & metallic shoes
on the rear.
