That's a valid point. I hadn't thought about that. I ended up getting an entire setup from a 2008 Silverado HD. My concern now is that Mater cylinder bore might be too large for D52 style calipers in my application.

The Master bore is 37mm (1.45"). Wouldn't this yield a very stiff pedal, all other things being equal?
