Default Big Brake Swap - Fronts

I have the Ex steering knuckles, the 11.1" Prelude rotors, the Accord wagon/Type R Calipers, the Carbotech Panther Plus pads, all I need now is a master cylinder.

My '88 Crx si comes with a 13/16" one. I have one in the basement from a '91 si which has a 7 on it (7/8"?). I think I might need a bigger one. I got an Accord one with the other items but it is completely backward.

My Question. Without changing the booster or bending a line to the other side of the MC, which is a direct bolt up??

90-91 Prelude Si non-abs are a direct bolt-on!
I've got one in my Rex w/11" fastbrakes kit.

It's a 15/16 in dia.

Go with the 90-91 EX master cyl. Direct bolt on, and get yourself a new one, resleeved ones don't seem to take the pressure. Doing the fastbrake 11" oem conversion in a couple days. Picking up calipers tomorrow, have the master cyl. already.
