What size piston do I need to convert a 1974 Duster Power Disc Brakes to manual disc brake?
I went with 15/16's. I had a MC that was a bit smaller and it took a massive amount of pedal pressure to stop the car. This MC I have know doesn't have too much travel but I found it's a bit of a trade off with pedal travel and stopping without using both feet! I'm running SSBC disc up front with 10" drums out back. on a 72 Demon. I'm sure everyone has there own opinion but it's really what you personally like. But I think the 15/16's MC is a good starting point.
I like a hard pedal. — like to feel the road and the car. Do you think a 1” would be a good compromise?
if you had a smaller master cylinder the pedal pressure would be much lighter.

Yep. I told Cass at Dr. Diff that I wanted a firm pedal and he said to go with the 1 1/32" master. It was just what I was wanting, but I'm sure some would think it's too firm.i always get confused by this.. i call dr.diff and buy what he tells me to buy...lol
Your money, waste it as you see fit.Yep. I told Cass at Dr. Diff that I wanted a firm pedal and he said to go with the 1 1/32" master. It was just what I was wanting, but I'm sure some would think it's too firm.
When I went and visited him a couple of years ago, I bought the 15/16'' aluminum master with adapter from him and installed it in my Dart Sport.Yep.

Just why exactly was my money wasted screwball?Your money, waste it as you see fit.
Your ignoring what has been said here by many. So like I said. It’s your money waste it if you want.Just why exactly was my money wasted screwball?
Name calling?Just why exactly was my money wasted screwball?
Yep, because I usually try to match a smart *** comment with a smart *** comment!! Now, other than your opinion, tell me why I wasted my money when I stated that I go exactly the pedal feel that I wanted!!Name calling?
I wasn't ignoring anything. You seem to have me confused with the OP. I have already purchased the 1 1/32" mc and installed it on my car and I'm totally satisfied with it. My post was like many others responding to the OP with my opinion. I was just telling him what I had done and let him go from there. The fact that you and others had recommended the 15/16" mc was immaterial to me.Your ignoring what has been said here by many. So like I said. It’s your money waste it if you want.
