Ahh, I forgot about that (and you'd mentioned it earlier). With
a stepped bore yes, it's a problem. To swap in a straight-bore
(normal, common) master cylinder, you'd ahve to juggle front or
rear wheel cylinders to match the areal ratios (or simply copy
the wheel cyl diameter selections from a car with a straight
bore). That might be more than a lot of people would put up with,
