Clutch Master Cylinder 0.75 vs 0.70
I have a clutch Master Cylinder with a 0.70 bore in good condition. Seems Mini's used 0.75 whereas 1100's used 0.70. Would there be an issue with using this 1100 MC in a Mini? Has anyone done this with good success? I can see the 1100 being a larger car probably had more stroke on it's clutch pedal which would translate to the same fluid capacity as the Mini's.

The 0.70" Master Cylinder doesn't quite displace enough fluid to get full travel for clutch disengagement on a Mini. You will just get away with it when everything in new and tweaked right up, but before long as it settles and wears it will be disappointing.

Thank you for the reply. I'll have to put these 0.70's on the selling block.
