Hey Larry,

you are right that the bore(s) of the master should match the calipers. That is why there are some staggered masters out there. Bigger bore for the front calipers and smaller one for the rears.
That said, I have the calipers and the master cylinder of the donor car and the master has a 1" bore for front and rear calipers. I have driven a car with those brakes and they are awesome (donor car weighs 3500lbs) That is why I was happy to find that on my Pantera the master was also a 1" bore. But as said, it needs replacing or at least a sleeve. I think the pitting is too deep for a simple hone.

Your sight glass idea is a good one, worth considering. ;-)

Thanks, Jochen
