well what i meant was some older cars have single resivoir masters... i know they will be the cheapest.. most cars have dual resivior masters.. front res for front brakes, rear res for rears....

The bore in a dual piston/dual reservoir MC's are likely 2 different ID's also.See the big difference in the reservoir size? That's because the rear brakes are normally drum brakes that have a lot of travel in the brake cylinder(maybe 1/4" or so) to bring the shoes into contact with the drum.On calipers the piston only moves a 1/32" or so before contact is made with the disc and therefore needs a smaller displacement volume. It's all about the displacement.

Yep, that is true. I have a master from a subie and it says the two different sizes of the pistons on the side of it.

All he needs do is lay a ruler across the pistons and that will be close enuff to give a MC bore recommendation.
