I got everything from Summit

7/8" Master cylinder- https://www.summitracing.com/parts/w...9-bk/overview/

Proportional valve- https://www.summitracing.com/parts/w...1179/overview/

If you are going power brakes (vacuum) I would use a 1" bore and if you go with hydroboost then that 1 1/8" would be a good choice. These are all my opinion from my personal experience and you may get differing opinions from other people.

I have never driven with manual brakes. Can i ask what the benefit is? I'll be doing my brakes soon and haven't decided between manual or power. I'm just running wilwood d52 calipers, nothing fancy.
