I have spent hours searching the forum for answers regarding my braking issues that I have encountered changing the master cylinder in my Lark. I am installing a Turner Disc Brake system in the fronts as well as a power brake booster that I had rebuilt a couple of years ago and have yet to install. My problem is that I thought I had purchased an old Studebaker power brake booster but it turns out that it is not. Looking over all the parts that I acquired for this build I had purchased a two bolt flange type booster, Jim Turner told me that all Studebaker boosters are 4 bolt. Here's the problem, Jim recommends using a 1 1/16" or 1 1/8". After searching and reading as many threads available, I would like to find as close of a master cylinder to stock. An old post that Matthew Burnett commented on suggested that he used an AMC/Jeep Master Cylinder as a good replacement for the 1963 Master with brake switch port coming off the bottom. What I found was a Wagner MC56193 or alternate F56193 with a bolt on lid or a Cardone Master 10-36365 is also a good match with the bolt on lid. Both used in 1974 Jeep CJ5 and CJ6's. I'm not too worried about changing fittings on the brake lines if I have to, since I am changing all these old brake lines anyway.
The stated bore is 1" on the MC56193. I am questioning the importance of using a the 1 1/16" or 1 1/8" bore with the Turner Disc Brake system vs. using this Master noted above? Does anybody have any experience using this MC?

Thanks in advance for any information,
