Default Did I get the wrong Strange manual master cylinder?

I have the b3360T which has the 1.032" bore. The catalogue states:

Assuming the rear wheels are equipped with 4 piston calipers, the 1.032" bore master cylinder should be used if 2 piston or single piston calipers are used for the front two wheels. The 1.125" bore master cylinder will allow optimum volume and pressure for vehicles using 4 piston calipers for the front 2 wheels.

I have the Strange rears which are 4 piston and currently have the stock fronts. I'll have the Strange fronts soon.

If I get the Strange fronts soon, they'll be 4 piston which what I posted above, it states I needed the 1.125" bore.

You'll be fine. Make sure you drill a new hole in your brake pedal 1 1/4" above the stock hole. My brakes work way better now. I learned the hard way of using the stock hole and 4 master cylinders later. If you plan on getting rear dual calipers then I would get the 1.125" bore, but what you have now will work fine.

I currently have Strange rear brakes and stock fronts, but plan on Strange fronts, hopefully in the near future.

That new hole for the master cylinder was a bitch. I had a hard time getting enough behind the drill to punch it through the brake arm (it's double metal) and I'm a fatass.

You only need the 1.125 if you're going to have 6 calipers on the car.
