Default Hydroboost with Willwood Master

I'm buying a hydroboost setup and need to know which willwood master cylinder works with the hydroboost. Summit has about 10 different willwood master cylinders with different bore sizes.

What bore size do I need to order?

I have the 1 1/8 Wilwood MC on my car. I have 6 piston Baer on all 4 and a Hydratech hydroboost unit. Paul from Hydratech recommended a master with 1 1/8 bore. The brakes work fantastic!!

Thanks for the reply. I just spent 15 minutes on hold with CPPP to find out it's 1-1/8"

Thank you,


Rich

Hello
I have a question
I just got my hydraboost and 1 1/8 bore Wilwood master.
But it feels like the pushrod in between the master and the booster is too short.
when I push on the pedal after about an inch of movement the pedal has a harder feel to it. It's like the pushrod doesn't meet the master for an even feel thought the motion.
Is this normal?

Thanks
Rob
